The complex of archaeological sites near Anikin Stone has long attracted the attention of specialists. Repeated studies of burial grounds in this area have revealed many details in the history of the Lower Tomsk region (Western Siberia). New materials were found in 2022–2023. Splintered pieces from the Yarsky settlement have become a unique source of information about the economy of its inhabitants. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the position of settlement complexes in the structure of the area near the Anikin Stone.
Archaeological exploration using modern technologies and methods made it possible to establish the context of the occurrence of cultural remains on the territory of two settlements near the Anikin Stone. Inspection of the outcrops and the use of georadar surveys made it possible to record traces of the burial ground. Facts indicate the presence of burials in it, which presumably belong to the Andronovo culture of the Bronze Age. Chisel tools and other artifacts from the settlements were discovered in the pits. A comparative analysis of morphological features and a search for similar items in the region made it possible to establish the occurrence of chisel-shaped tools in Bronze Age settlements in the Lower Tomsk region. As a result, the boundaries of the Yarsky settlement were clarified, the boundaries of the Shumikhinsky settlement were determined, and the location of the mounds from the Anikin Stone burial mound was localized.
Traces of two settlements on a cape-shaped ledge near the Anikin Stone were localized in space and documented. Previously expressed assumptions about the composition and safety of settlements and burial grounds near the Anikin Stone have been confirmed. The time of the emergence of settlements is determined in a wide range of the Bronze Age from the end of the 3rd to the beginning of the 1st millennium BC. It is possible to identify the Andronovo complex within the burial ground during further research.

Authors:   United Institute of Informatics Problems, National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Pottosin Yu. V. ,   Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics
Published: December 2024

The problem of combinational circuits synthesis in the basis of two-input gates is considered. Those gates are AND, OR, NAND and NOR. A method for solving this problem by means of Boolean functions bi-decomposition is suggested. The method reduces the problem to the search for a weighted two-block cover of the orthogonality graph of ternary matrice rows representing the given Boolean function by complete bipartite subgraphs (bi-cliques). Each bi-clique in the obtained cover is assigned in a certain way with a set of variables that are the arguments of the function. This set is the weight of the bi-clique. Each of those bi-cliques defines a Boolean function whose arguments are the variables assigned to it. The functions obtained in such a way constitute the required decomposition. The process of combinational circuit synthesis consists in successively applying bi-decomposition to the functions obtained. The method for two-block covering the orthogonality graph of ternary matrice rows is described.

A general algebraic equation is considered, and the problem is to find its solution using power series or Laurent series depending on the coefficients of the equation. A solution is obtained in the form of a Laurent series, the coefficients of which are expressed in terms of the coefficients by formulas in a “closed” form, when the number of terms in the formula does not increase with the number of the coefficient. In the applied aspect, a general algebraic equation is considered as a commutative image of the corresponding equation with non-commutative symbols, which, in turn, is interpreted in the theory of formal grammars as a polynomial grammar. It is shown that such a grammar does not generate a formal language (it does not have a solution in the form of a formal power series), since its commutative image has a solution in the form of a Laurent series containing negative degrees of variables, while division in the theory of formal grammars is not defined.

The article focuses on European medieval travelogues. The plot about the cursed king and the sparrow-hawk first appeared in The Travels by John Mandeville, who, judging by the date of his work, could imply Levon V Lusignan. The plot was borrowed from Mandeville by Johannes Schiltberger, who supplemented it with a description of the location where the legend took place. As for Jean d’Arras’s prose romance Melusine, it was written in 1387 at the behest of Jean of Berry and his sister Marie of France, after Levon V had arrived in France in 1383. Successfully woven by d’Arras and later by Couldrette into the history of the House of Lusignan, the legend turned out to be strikingly consonant with the historical and political situation in the Cilician Armenia. The fairy’s curse that fell upon the King of Armenia was timed by the writers to the fate of Cilician Armenia and its last king, Levon V Lusignan. The authors declare no conflicts of interests.
MAURICE BARING AND ALEXANDER PUSHKIN: TRANSLATION AND PROBLEMS OF THE LITERARY CANON DEVELOPMENT
Authors:   Linguistic University of Nizhny Novgorod, KOROLEVA S.B.
Published: December 2024

Maurice Baring’s reception of Alexander Pushkin’s personality and oeuvre can be described in terms of scholarly, educational, editorial, and translation activities. The unique role of this dialogue in the history of the English Pushkin Studies is determined by its immense influence on the perception of Pushkin’s oeuvre in England as well as on the formation of the English canon of Russian poetry. The major ideas of Baring’s concept, outlined in general notions in his Landmarks in Russian Literature (1910) and detailed in An Outline of Russian Literature (1914), can be found in the preface to the authoritative Oxford Book of Russian Verse (1925). Accordingly, Baring could argue that Pushkin’s poetry was in the highest degree endowed with “common sense”, “matter-of-factness”, “plasticity”, and “incomparable beauty” not only in his scholarly books, but also in his teaching handbook, which went through eight editions in the 1920s - 1960s. Equally important for the development of the general attitude to Pushkin in England was Baring’s discursive strategy of replacing the stereotype about the imitative nature of Pushkin’s works with the thesis about its “adaptability.” Both The Oxford Book of Russian Verse and An Outline of Russian Literature clearly reflected Baring’s special, enduring interest in Pushkin’s lyrics in general, and in the poem The Prophet in particular. In Baring’s prose translation, this poem completes the discussion about Pushkin in An Outline... and opens the section about Pushkin’s poetry in The Oxford Book of Russian Verse. Baring’s poetic translation of The Prophet was first published many years later, in 1933, in The Slavonic and East European Review, to be re-published there again in the “anniversary” year of 1937. The significance of this translation (as well as of Baring’s entire concept of Pushkin’s poetry) for the English canon of Russian poetry becomes explicit in a remarkable fact: The Prophet translated by Baring opens not just a section, but the entire collection of Russian poetry in English translations, edited by the famous English scholar and translator Cecil M. Bowra and published as A Book of Russian Verse at least 4 times: in 1943, 1947, 1971, and 1976. In fact, due to Baring’s Pushkin studies, The Prophet for many years was central not only for the English canon of Pushkin’s, but also for the English canon of all Russian poetry. However, despite the beauty of the style and accuracy in conveying the form and meaning, Baring’s translation sets a unique (“Catholic”) perspective for the interpretation of Pushkin’s masterpiece.

FILM ADAPTATION AS A PHENOMENON OF INTERSEMIOTIC TRANSLATION. A CASE STUDY OF TWO FILM VERSIONS OF SHAKESPEARE’S HAMLET
Authors:   HSE University, TSVETKOVA M.V.
Published: December 2024

The article focuses on film adaptation as a phenomenon of intersemiotic translation. Using the “close viewing” technique, the author provides a comparative analysis of the episodes representing the soliloquy “To be or not to be” in two film versions of Shakespeare’s Hamlet: by Laurence Olivier (1948) and Grigoriy Kozintsev (1964). The comparison reveals a radical difference in the central idea of the film adaptations, though the soliloquy in both films is presented without changes or abbreviations. The specific semiotic capabilities of film language, due to the “meaning of the unsaid,” allow for different interpretations of the soliloquy, depending on the characteristics of the personal and national picture of the world, as well as on the cinematic tradition. The English filmmaker acted as an innovator in the interpretation of Shakespeare’s image, removing the typical dramatic pathos of theatrical production and utilizing innovative cinematic techniques. The Soviet film director thoroughly perused and reconsidered what Olivier had done, to develop and clarify many of his “discoveries” (like symbolism of the setting, representing the soliloquy as an internal monologue, etc.). Olivier’s film is focused on identifying the timeless and archetypal things in the tragedy of Hamlet, and is abundant in Freudian imagery. In this interpretation, the thought of suicide becomes central to the soliloquy: “to be or not to be” is read, first of all, as “to live or not to live.” For Kozintsev, “to be or not to be” implies the choice between maintaining human dignity no matter what or coming to terms with evil and giving up. His Hamlet chooses the former - at the end of the scene, he begins a slow ascent, symbolizing the path of overcoming himself, whereas Olivier’s Hamlet begins to descend. Kozintsev’s film adaptation is largely colored by the specific flavor of the culture and time to which he belonged. As performed by Smoktunovsky, Hamlet is a man of the 1960s, with a worldview characteristic of the generation, based on an emphasis on the spiritual side of life (albeit materialistically understood), as well as a heightened sense of “the antinomy between the arbitrariness of power and the individual autonomy of the individual.” Kozintsev sees the main tragedy of Hamlet in his being born when there was no need for titans anymore. The era of people who gave too much free rein to their minds has ended. Hamlet can neither refuse to fulfill his duty nor fulfill it. This to a great extant resounded the situation in the 1960s, which developed in the Soviet Union in the late Khrushchev Thaw. The author declares no conflicts of interests.

Changes in the STR profile of cells in the process of obtaining a stable cell line
Authors: Malchenkova A. A. , Kosobokova E. N.
Published: December 2024

Background. Loss of heterozygosity, loss of the Y chromosome, and other types of genetic alterations are characteristic of tumor cell lines. Standard methods for detecting such changes are effortand time-consuming, and costly. Routine laboratory analysis of the authenticity and absence of intraspecific cell lines contamination using short tandem repeats (STR) profiling also allows for monitoring some genetic changes that cells undergo during the life cycle. The location of some potential STR loci is close to regulatory oncogenic loci, so many researchers note the prognostic and diagnostic utility of using STR profiling at the primary stage of genetic characterization of cell lines.

Aim. Control of cell identity and genetic variability during the establishment of a stable cell line.

Materials and methods. Profiling was carried out for primary cell cultures, for xenografts samples mel Lap nude, mel Kas nude and mel Pet nude, as well as during cell culture at 8th, 10th, 20th passages of the mel Lap, at 10th, 20th passages of the mel Kas and at 5th, 10th, 20th, 49th passages of the mel Pet, as well as after defrosting archived samples.

Results. For the mel Lap culture, by passage 8, a loss of heterozygosity was observed at the SE33 locus, and then the genetic profile remained stable. By passage 10, mel Kas cells lost heterozygosity for two loci SE33 and D6S1043, and in the CSF1PO locus at passage 0, amplification of three alleles was observed – 11, 12, 13. Subsequently, the culture maintained a stable STR profile. By the 5th passage, the mel Pet cell culture lost heterozygosity for almost all the studied loci, but then its STR profile remained unchanged throughout 49 passages and in the xenograft material.

Conclusion. The STR profiling method allows not only to monitor genetic stability in a cell line and the absence of intraspecific contamination during cultivation, but also, being fast and cheap, can be used as an additional primary test for significant genetic changes in cells.

B a c k g r o u n d . The partial substitution of charge-compensating cations of the anionic sublattice as well as atoms in the framework-forming positions are main ways for influence on the functional properties of complex phosphates of alkali and polyvalent metals. Today, mixed-anion phosphates with the general composition Na4MII3(PO4)2(P2O7) attract considerable interest as promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries due to their structural features.

The purpose of the work is to study the possibility of partial substitution of sodium cations by lithium or potassium cations, as well as atoms in the framework-forming positions of Co(II) by Fe(III) with preserving of initial type of structure Na4Со3(PO4)2(P2O7).

M e t h o d s . The melting method was used for synthesis of phosphates, while the methods of powder X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy were used for characterization of phosphates.

R e s u l t s . The possibility of aliovalent replacement of Co2+ by Fe3+ up to 16.6 mol% in the structure of Na4Со3(PO4)2(P2O7) was established, and glass-ceramics of phosphates with the general composition Na4-уСо3-уFeу(PO4)2(P2O7) (у = 0.1 or 0.5) which belong to orthorhombic system, space group Pn21a were synthesized. The cell parameters for obtained phosphates decrease as the degree of substitution of atoms in the framework-forming position increases. The composites based on phases Na4Со3(PO4)2(P2O7) (over 50wt%), Na2Fe3(PO4)3 and NaCoPO4 were obtained as a result of the interaction at the molar ratio Na:MI:Co:Fe:P=3.0:0.5:2.5:0.5:4 (MI – Li+, K+), which provided for the implementation of combined partial substitution in the framework-forming and in the cavity positions of the Na4Со3(PO4)2(P2O7) structure.

С o n c l u s i o n s . The obtained results indicate the possibility of aliovalent substitution of Co2+ by Fe3+ in the Na4Со3(PO4)2(P2O7) structure, which provided the formation of up to 12.5% ​​vacancies in cavity positions and can be used in the future for regulation of the ion-conducting properties of materials based on of mixed anion phosphates with an anionic sublattice [МІІ3-хМІІІх(PO4)2(P2O7)](4-х)- type for the development of sodium-ion batteries.

В работе поднимается проблема так называемых превербов — препозитивных глагольных языковых единиц — в монгольских языках, в частности бурятском языке. Настоящая статья не претендует на исчерпывающее описание этой достаточно дискуссионной области. Основная цель статьи — рассмотреть имеющиеся взгляды на статус исследуемых элементов в монгольских языках, в частности в бурятском языке, обзор которых обнаруживает наличие неоднозначной позиции по этой проблематике. Высказанные исследователями взгляды разделены на две группы. Со-гласно первой точке зрения превербы относятся к частям слова: приставкам, префиксоидам, компонентам составного бурятского глагола. Другая точка зрения представлена мнением ряда бурятоведов, полагающих, что эти языковые единицы следует относить к самостоятельным частям речи — наречиям или частицам. Авторы статьи поддерживают мнение исследователей, относящих эту группу единиц к разряду слов-интенсификаторов, основной функцией которых является указание на высокую степень проявления признака или действия. Авторы сочли необходимым высказать свое мнение, что наименование превербы наиболее точно отражает функциональную направленность анализируемых элементов, немаловажную роль играет в этом и их препозитивная глагольная позиция. В целом, по мнению авто-ров, разрешение проблемы превербов лежит не в формальной плоскости, а в области семантики.

Published: December 2024

Host modulatory therapies can be an effective modality of intervention in periodontal diseases as one of the adjunctive treatment options. This clinical study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of sub microbial dose of Doxycycline (SDD) 20mg twice daily, as an adjunct to periodontal surgery in patients with generalised aggressive periodontitis (GAP).

To assess the changes in probing pocket depth (PD) & clinical attachment level (CAL).

The study population included patients registering at the OPD, Department of Periodontics. A total of 60 patients with GAP were selected for the study, who were equally divided into two groups A & B. Group A, placed on SDD 20mg twice a day for 09 months immediately after scaling and root planing (SRP) followed by periodontal surgery. Group B treated with SRP & periodontal surgery. The parameters like PD, CAL, BOP, gingival index & oral hygiene index-simplified were recorded at baseline and post-operative 90, 180 & 270 days.

The inter-group comparison of probing PD & CAL values revealed a statistically highly significant difference between group A & group B at 90, 180 and 270 days post-operatively with ‘p’ value = 0.000 & 0.067 respectively, but insignificant changes in other parameters.

The Reduction in PD and CAL improvements were significantly greater in group A with adjunctive SDD than for the group B. Thus, adjunctive treatment with SDD was shown to augment the clinical attachment gains achieved by periodontal surgery.
Incidence of root canal treatment in anterior and posterior teeth and its association with the gender and age- A retrospective study
Authors: Kaur Harpuneet , Bharti Simran , Kaur Sapanpuneet
Published: December 2024

The objective of this survey is to assess the incidence of root canal treatment in specific teeth and its association with the patient's gender and age.

A popular dental operation called root canal therapy (RCT) is used to preserve teeth with damaged or infected pulp. Anterior and posterior teeth have different incidences of RCT due to variations in tooth structure, function, and decay susceptibility. Age and gender can also have an impact on the requirement for RCT, which emphasises how crucial it is to comprehend these trends for improved clinical care.

The data for the present study was retrieved from the records of the dental department. Data of 2275 patients, out of which 797 were males and 1478 were females. The inclusion criteria for this study consisted of data from patients with teeth that had undergone endodontic treatment. Data collected included age, gender, and the specific tooth number that received endodontic treatment. Data was analyzed using a computer software program, SPSS 20.

In this study, the majority of patients receiving endodontic treatment were between the ages of 31 to 40, accounting for 36% of the cases. The mandibular first molar was the most commonly treated tooth for root canal procedures, followed by the mandibular second molar. When gender and tooth count were correlated, the mandibular first molar underwent root canal therapy the most frequently in both genders.

The majority of patients getting root canal therapy were females, with mandibular first molars being the most common teeth for both genders.

A partly epithelialized free gingival graft technique in the treatment of RT2 gingival recession- A case report
Authors: Karekar Vaibhavi Deepak , Indurkar Maya S
Published: December 2024

The management of gingival recession is a more common challenge for the patients as it affects the esthetics and causes dentin hypersensitivity. The use of the autogenous soft tissue graft as donor is considered as a gold standard treatment modality with predictable esthetic outcomes for the gingival recession coverage. In partly epithelialized free gingival graft (PE-FGG) technique the apical portion of the graft is de-epithelialized to overcome, partly the esthetic deficiencies associated with the conventional FGG.

A 42 year old female patient presented with single Cairo’s RT2 buccal recession with 41 and was associated with inadequate width of keratinized gingiva. PE-FGG technique was performed after harvesting the soft tissue graft from the palate. The apical portion was de-epithelialized extra-orally with sharp blade and the graft was sutured on the recipient site with Holbrook and Oschenbien sutures. Complete root coverage was achieved and maintained at 6 months with excellent esthetic outcomes.

The use of PE-FGG technique shows excellent outcomes esthetically and can be used for treatment of isolated gingival recession defects.

Artykuł przedstawia wyniki badań nad wybranymi aspektami dwujęzyczności węgiersko-polskiej na przykładzie osoby należącej do młodego pokolenia polonijnego na Węgrzech, wychowanej metodą OPOL w rodzinie polsko-węgierskiej. Zagadnienie to wpisuje się w nurt badań dwujęzyczności polsko-obcej obecnych już w glottodydaktyce polonistycznej, a wybór wskazanego w tytule zagadnienia wynika ze znikomego dotychczas zainteresowania tego typu bilingwizmem. Socjokulturowa perspektywa analiz zdecydowała o triangulacji narzędzi badawczych. Za metodę wiodącą przyjęto analizę narracyjną. Dane pozyskano za pomocą wywiadu częściowo ustrukturyzowanego, wywiadu pogłębionego oraz autobiografii językowej przedstawionej w kilkunastu esejach, napisanych odręcznie w obu językach przez badaną. W dyskusji wyników stwierdzono – przy założeniu pewnej reprezentatywności przedstawionego studium – że w młodym pokoleniu dwujęzycznych Węgrów mogą zarysowywać się nowe postawy wobec własnego bilingwizmu, wciąż jednak przy zachowywaniu doświadczonych przez nich modeli dwukulturowego wychowania. Zauważono m.in., że polszczyzna jest podtrzymywana jako język odziedziczony – język kontaktu z innojęzyczną częścią rodziny i jej kulturą, ale młodzi chcą ją pielęgnować także ze względu na możliwe korzyści socjoekonomiczne. Polskość jest traktowana sentymentalnie, jako źródło poczucia dumy i poczucia własnej wartości. Analizowany bilingwizm węgiersko-polski pełni funkcję „socjokulturowej katapulty”: stwarza dobre podstawy do adaptacji we współczesnych zglobalizowanych realiach charakteryzujących się wielojęzycznością i wielokulturowością, ponieważ oswaja z życiem naznaczonym dynamiką własnej tożsamości narodowej, kulturowej czy językowej.
Rola leksyki kulturowej w dydaktyce języków obcych na przykładzie języka polskiego jako obcego
Authors: Łukaszewicz Barbara
Published: December 2024

W artykule zwracam uwagę na konteksty kulturowe mające istotne znaczenie w procesie werbalizacji. Skuteczna komunikacja zależy nie tylko od znajomości systemu językowego, lecz także od wiedzy na temat niepisanych reguł i zjawisk powstałych na gruncie kultury obcej i wyrażanych przede wszystkim za pomocą leksyki. Podkreślam, że kompetencję leksykalną i semantyczną w glottodydaktyce postrzega się głównie w aspekcie językoznawczym i metodycznym. Dość często pomija się w związku z tym kulturowe podłoże znaczenia wielu jednostek leksykalnych nauczanych w ramach zajęć języka polskiego jako obcego. Przedstawiam wybrane słowa i wyrażenia związane z życiem szkolnym i uniwersyteckim (po 16 przykładów), których pełne rozumienie wiąże się ze znajomością zasad i zwyczajów obowiązujących w szkołach i na uczelniach. Ten krąg tematyczny odgrywa ważną rolę dla uczniów i studentów cudzoziemskich, których mieszka w Polsce coraz więcej m.in. ze względu na napływ przychodźców ukraińskich po wybuchu wojny.
Der Erwerb komplexer syntaktischer Strukturen des deutschen von Germanistikstudierenden mit L1- polnisch / L1- ukrainisch, L2 – englisch
Authors: Sadownik Barbara
Published: December 2024

In dem vorliegenden Beitrag werden Probleme des Syntaxerwerbs im Deutschen behandelt, wobei ganz speziell auf den Erwerb der komplexen Verbletztstellungsregularitäten in deutschen eingeleiteten Nebensätzen bei Germanistikstudierenden mit L1–Polnisch/L1–Ukrainisch, L2–Englisch eingegangen wird. Die Untersuchung wird durch Bezugnahme auf die psycholinguistische Processability Theory (PT) mit ihrer Developmentally Moderated Transfer Hypothesis (Pienemann 2015) fundiert. Eigene ziemlich breit angelegte empirische Querschnittstudie, die syntaktische Kompetenz von 45 Probanden (1. und 2. Studienjahr, Master Germanistik) anhand ihrer schriftlichen Sprachproduktion dokumentiert und analysiert, zielt in erster Linie darauf ab, Regularitäten beim Erwerb der deutschen Nebensatzstruktur zu erfassen und invariante, universelle Syntaxverarbeitungs- und -erwerbsprinzipien aufzustellen, die weitgehend unabhängig von Variablen wie Muttersprache/Erstsprache, Alter oder Art des Spracherwerbstyps sind.
Escaping the Tyrannies of Geopolitical Space: Cuban Artists and Curators Operating Outside the Parameters of Sanctioned Institutions
Authors: Álvarez Hernández Analays , O’Reilly Herrera Andrea
Published: December 2024

In this essay, we examine the themes of cultural transmission, transformation, and exchange within a transnational and trans-local framework. We specifically focus on Cuban cultural production on and off the island through its visual arts. Through a transtemporal and transgenerational perspective, we explore the artwork, exhibitions, and “institutions” produced by key Cuban diasporic artists Leandro Soto and Carlos Cárdenes and curator Solveig Font. They have successfully established themselves domestically and internationally outside of sanctioned cultural and state institutions by creating transnational and transcultural modes of production and exchange. We envision, therefore, the boundaries of Cuban art, artists, and curators as a network that includes the Cuban diaspora and its multiple, sometimes contradictory or antagonistic, but not less emotionally charged, relationships with the island. Cubanness thus extends beyond the limits of the nation-state and enters a state of perpetual becoming.
“Like a Great River Flowing Restless”: Fugitive Figures across (Central) American Borders in Leslie Marmon Silko’s Almanac of the Dead
Authors: Brígido-Corachán Anna M.
Published: December 2024

Over seventy characters meet, interact, collide, and/or collaborate with one another in Leslie Marmon Silko’s 763-page novel Almanac of the Dead. Radically shaking up Western conceptions of time, history, and space, Silko’s opus follows the criss-crossing trajectories of Indigenous fugitives, actively seeking to document and confront unresolved colonial conflicts throughout the Americas. Silko’s alternative archiving process is ambitious, purposeful, and yet necessarily selective, which results in some historical gaps.  This article contends that, in her envisioning of a transborder, trans-Indigenous network of anticolonial resistance, Leslie Silko renders an idealized view of the unruly South as an embryonic and fugitive space of subaltern vindications and hope that is articulated predominantly around Mexico. This is a powerful vision but one which, nonetheless, barely mentions the ongoing Indigenous genocides taking place South of the Mexican border during the 1980s in Guatemala and El Salvador—the tumultuous decade Silko spent researching and writing her massive novel. To fill such an omission, this article takes account of Silko’s selective incorporation of Southern geographies and peoples. It engages the territories south of the U.S. border that are included in Silko’s Indigenous map of the Americas, and examines the novel’s representation of Guatemalan Mayas and Salvadoran refugees, who appear as anonymous, ghostly shadows in the Mexican chapters.
Borders, Refugees, and Spaces of Amnesia: Omar El Akkad’s American War
Authors: Carmona-Rodríguez Pedro Miguel
Published: December 2024

This paper examines Omar El Akkad’s novel American War to highlight climate and war refugees as a “ghosted community” strategically placed within what Rob Nixon terms a “space of amnesia,” and to later configure a mirror of otherness able to return to the political community a predication of its homogeneity. Then, as nation-state-centred discourses of patriotism are challenged by the making and unmaking of borders in the novel, attention is paid to the attempt to monitor the spaces of adjacency. The confinement of refugees in camps and the existence of detention centres to annihilate contemporary threats embodied in the terrorist combatant illustrate how political sovereignty relies on borders created on exemption. The multiplicity of narratives coalescing in the novel around Sara T. Chestnut helps interrogate the sovereignty that the nation-state claims over historical interpretation, while readers are invited into new spaces of ethical compromise to detect the (mis)use of alterity in the service of patriotically vested ideologies.
Of Axolotls, Vulnerable Bodies and Transnational History Politics: Neobaroque Representation of the Mexican-American Borderland Identity in the Film Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths by Alejandro González Iñárritu
Authors: Kolbuszewska Zofia
Published: December 2024

This article examines Alejandro González Iñárritu’s skillful employment of neobaroque representation strategies in his metacinematic emography Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths, to present the complexities of the borderland identity of Mexican-American emigrants, and its entanglement in the legacy of the myth of the Mexican character with its axolotl symbolism. The inquiry focuses in particular on the director’s porte-parole Silverio Gama and his family. The film’s mise-en-abyme, a para-documentary False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths made by Silverio, a filmmaker of transnational reputation like Iñárritu, is considered a meta-commentary on Iñárritu’s own filmmaking and the political consequences of immersion in the mediatized reality. The para-documentary is also analysed as an example of Iñárritu’s manipulation of the tension between the major and minor strategies of neobaroque representation in order to interrogate the transnational Mexican-American history politics as well as the dreams, aspirations, and vulnerability of Mexican emigrants traversing deserts on their way to the U.S. border. The article concludes with a claim that Silverio’s identity can only be comprehended if the canon of the axolotl is considered to reflect the condition of Bardo, an intermediate state between life and death.
Sankcje państw zachodnich wobec Rosji
Authors: Żukrowska Katarzyna
Published: December 2024

Artykuł omawia sankcje, jakie państwa Zachodu zastosowały wobec Rosji po jej ataku na Ukrainę. Jest tu mowa o 14 pakietach przyjętych ograniczeń i restrykcji, których celem jest doprowadzenie do przerwania konfliktu, a także o eskalacji podejmowanych ograniczeń. Wskazuje się na dziedziny, w których ograniczenia te są wprowadzane, pokazuje się rozwiązania stosowane wobec osób fizycznych oraz podmiotów instytucjonalnych i gospodarczych. Zwraca uwagę asymetria w stosowaniu sankcji, które ze strony państw Zachodu stawiają na jakościowe rozwiązania obejmujące zaawansowane technologie lub wyspecjalizowane usługi, podczas gdy w ramach retorsji stawia się na dostawy surowcowe i poziom ich cen. Chodzi tu o wskazanie pewnej nierównowagi stosowanych rozwiązań. Ten brak symetrii jest obserwowany nie tylko w sferach stosowania sankcji, ale również możliwości ich oddziaływania na gospodarki państw wprowadzających ograniczenia i państwa, wobec którego te ograniczenia są używane. Artykuł prezentuje, co to są sankcje, jak je wprowadzano, jak zwiększano ich zakres, jaka była odpowiedź rynku sankcjonowanego i kto włączył się do stosowania sankcji.
Istota i struktura analizy ładu międzynarodowego
Authors: Pietraś Marek
Published: December 2024

Ład międzynarodowy jest kategorią analizy stosunków międzynarodowych na poziomie systemu międzynarodowego, a więc kategorią ontologii, ale i epistemologii tych stosunków. Jako kategoria ontologii jest dynamicznym procesem konkretyzowanym specyficznymi warunkami danego momentu historycznego. Celem artykułu jest – po pierwsze – zaproponowanie rozumienia istoty ładu międzynarodowego. Zaproponowano jego neutralne rozumienie, uznając, że jest to sposób zorganizowania i funkcjonowania systemu międzynarodowego w danym momencie. Po drugie – istotnym celem jest propozycja struktury analizy ładu międzynarodowego, w której należy uwzględnić: 1) biegunowość systemu międzynarodowego, 2) wartości polityczne, 3) normy, 4) instytucje/organizacje. Zaproponowano nowy model ujmowania biegunowości. Po pierwsze, w miejsce wyłącznie strukturalnego myślenia z koncentracją na strukturze koncentracji potęgi (dwubiegunowy, wielobiegunowy, itd), zaproponowano ujęcie strukturalno-funkcjonalne, uwzględniającego koncentrację potęgi i strategię jej stosowania. Po drugie, analiza biegunowości tylko na poziomie globalnego systemu międzynarodowego nie oddaje złożoności tego zjawiska, gdy wzrasta znaczenie mocarstw regionalnych. Proponowane jest analizowanie biegunowości jako zjawiska dwupoziomowego, z uwzględnieniem poziomu globalnego systemu i mocarstw globalnych oraz poziomu systemów regionalnych i mocarstw regionalnych.
Bezpieczeństwo energetyczne w kontekście współczesnych wyzwań geopolitycznych
Authors: Ruszel Mariusz , Turowski Paweł
Published: December 2024

W niniejszym artykule poddano analizie współczesne bezpieczeństwo energetyczne w zmieniającym się krajobrazie wyzwań geopolitycznych, koncentrując się na wpływie strategicznych zasobów energetycznych i odporności infrastruktury energetycznej. Celem artykułu jest ocena bezpieczeństwa energetycznego z naciskiem na rolę mechanizmów państwowych – zamiast rynkowych – w zapewnieniu ciągłości dostaw energii. Główna hipoteza sugeruje, że napięcia geopolityczne i globalne trendy energetyczne bezpośrednio wpływają na poziom bezpieczeństwa energetycznego. Kluczowe pytania badawcze obejmują rolę państwa w zabezpieczaniu zasobów energetycznych, identyfikację ryzyk wynikających z niestabilności geopolitycznej oraz ocenę wymogów dotyczących odporności infrastruktury. Analiza badawcza wykazuje, że współczesne bezpieczeństwo energetyczne wykracza poza samą ciągłość dostaw, uwzględniając aspekty ochrony cybernetycznej, adaptacyjne polityki regulacyjne oraz zaawansowane technologie w produkcji energii odnawialnej. Wnioski podkreślają potrzebę przyjęcia przez państwa proaktywnych strategii na rzecz dywersyfikacji struktury bilansu energetycznego, bezpieczeństwa infrastruktury oraz gotowości kryzysowej, zwłaszcza w odpowiedzi na trwającą wojnę rosyjsko-ukraińską, która przekształciła globalne rynki energetyczne i wzmocniła unijny nacisk na zrównoważone, niezależne systemy energetyczne.
