Applications for chat bots (and voice bots) are being used more frequently in customer care or e-commerce as a direct line of communication between businesses and customers. A software programm known as a bot executes automated, repetitive, and pre-defined tasks. For people, it would be nearly impossible to respond to every single client question. The benefit of employing the notion of a bot is that it eliminates the laborious process of manually responding to customer requests. A bot handles everything automatically. Artificial intelligence is a concept that chatbots employ to communicate with people. It has security features like the ability to deactivate accounts that are sending unsolicited messages. We introduce the bot framework in this paper. Bot is a runtime engine that launches the chatbot programme automatically. and controls security. Bot is freely accessible and open source online.

Authors: MUHAMMED ABDULLAHI Ayınde , JAMES Adewale , ISHAQ Ajimoti Adam , OYEDEPO Taiye
Published: September 2022

There are several classifications of linear Integral Equations. Some of them include; Voltera Integral Equations, Fredholm Linear Integral Equations, Fredholm-Voltera Integrodifferential. In the past, solutions of higher-order Fredholm-Volterra Integrodifferential Equations [FVIE] have been presented. However, this work uses a computational techniques premised on the third kind Chebyshev polynomials method. The performance of the results for distinctive degrees of approximation (M) of the trial solution is cautiously studied and comparisons have been additionally made between the approximate/estimated and exact/definite solution at different intervals of the problems under consideration. Modelled Problems have been provided to illustrate the performance and relevance of the techniques. However, it turned out that as M increases, the outcomes received after every iteration get closer to the exact solution in all of the problems considered. The results of the experiments are therefore visible from the tables of errors and the graphical representation presented in this work.

Published: September 2022

INTRODUCTION: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the NF1 gene. In addition to physical manifestations, complications such as cognitive and behavioral deficits have been described. CLINICAL FINDINGS: We describe a case of a 14-year-old male with a past psychiatric history of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and multiple suicide attempts, who presented with suicidal ideation and command hallucinations. The patient became aggressive, physically assaulting hospital staff, and required sedative medication and physical restraints for several days. He required inpatient hospital admission due to rhabdomyolysis. Throughout his admission, the patient was intermittently verbally and physically abusive to people around him. They described his outbursts as impulsive and thought to be out of motivation to get what he wants. He preferred to keep to himself and did not have relationships with people at his home. CONCLUSION: This case report provides insight into the behavioral characterization of children diagnosed with NF1. While the mechanism of how NF1 relates to behavioral issues is unknown, the association between NF1 and behavioral issues should be carefully considered in NF1 patients presenting with aggression.
Measuring and Analyzing the Impact of the Exchange Rate Change on Some MMacroeconomic Variables in Iraq for the Period (1990-2021)
Authors: Abdulkarim Ahmed Rangin , Mahsum Faraj Mardin
Published: September 2022

One of the economic variables used in economic policies to achieve economic stability is the exchange rate. The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of changes in exchange rates of the Iraqi dinar on Some macroeconomic variables during the period (1990-2021). The study used a descriptive and analytical approach based on time series data, employing models (DLOS, FMOLS, CCR, ARDL) to prove the impact of the exchange rate on GDP, inflation rate, unemployment rate, inflation rate, and Iraqi exports. Finally, the study concluded that there is a positive relationship between the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar and GDP, implying that the exchange rate provides for economic growth and that there is a negative relationship between the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar and the rate of inflation in Iraq, implying that the exchange rate aids in the reduction of inflation rates in Iraq. Furthermore, the exchange rate had no effect on unemployment rates, i.e., the change in the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar had no effect on reducing the percentage of people who are unemployed. The econometrics analysis also found that the impact of the Iraqi dinar exchange rate in Iraq was negative and did not contribute to an increase in total exports, which is consistent with the reality of the Iraqi economy because foreign trade in Iraq suffers from a major structural imbalance represented by the control of crude oil as a raw material on more than (٪95) of its exports, so oil prices are unaffected by the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar. According to the study, one of the most essential ways to achieve genuine exchange rate stability and increase the link between the exchange rate and macroeconomic variables is to pursue an economic diversification policy.

Ideological Positioning in Presidential Inaugural Addresses: A Comparative Critical Discourse Analysis of President Agyekum Kufour and President John Evans Ata Mills
Authors: Kpeglo Samuel Bruce , Giddi Ebenezer
Published: September 2022

Scholars have become interested in analysing the language used in the inaugural speeches of African presidents, likely because of the rise of multi-party democracy in a number of African countries. But there have not been many studies done on the ideological analysis of Presidential Inaugural Addresses (PIA), especially for African heads of state. Studies that have already been conducted did not focus on minor indications of ideological orientations and stances presented by these political figures in their political speeches. In this paper, we examined two Presidential Inaugural Addresses (PIAs) delivered by John Agyekum Kufuor and John Evans Atta Mills who were Presidents of the Republic of Ghana. The objective is to outline the covertly expressed ideological positions used in the selected PIAs and to ascertain possible areas of ideological divergence and convergence between the two opposing political leaders. We used a CDA approach to discourse analysis, which is predicated on Fairclough's assumption that discourse analysis aims to investigate the causal relationships between discursive practices and broader social and cultural structures, relations, and processes. More precisely, this study sought to uncover covert ideology that is 'hidden' inside the texts. The study discovered that Kufuor was more direct in his language, promoting his capitalist ideology, criticizing the previous administration, and also having the least self-criticism, whereas Mills was less direct, espoused an ideology of socialism, was less critical of others, and sounded more conciliatory.

BACKGROUND The costs associated with TB disease can be catastrophic for patients, affecting health and socioeconomic outcomes. Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a high TB burden country and the costs associated with TB are unknown.METHODS We undertook a national survey of
TB patients to determine the magnitude of costs associated with TB in PNG, the proportion of households with catastrophic costs and cost drivers. We used a cluster sampling approach and recruited TB patients from health facilities. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the costs and
cost drivers and multivariate logistic regression to determine factors associated with catastrophic costs.RESULTS We interviewed 1,000 TB patients; 19 (1.9%) of them had multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). Costs due to TB were attributable to income loss (64.4%), non-medical (29.9%)
and medical (5.7%) expenses. Catastrophic costs were experienced by 33.9% (95% CI 31.0–36.9) of households and were associated with MDR-TB (aOR 4.47, 95% CI 1.21–16.50), hospitalization (aOR 3.94, 95% CI 2.69–5.77), being in the poorest (aOR 3.52, 95% CI 2.43–5.10)
or middle wealth tertiles (aOR 1.51, 95% CI 1.03–2.21) or being employed (aOR 2.02, 95% CI 1.43–2.89).CONCLUSION The costs due to TB disease were catastrophic for one third of TB-affected households in PNG. Current support measures could be continued, while new cost
mitigation interventions may be considered where needed.

Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) treatment takes 18–24 months and is complex, costly and isolating. We provide trial evidence on the WHO Pakistan recommendation for community-based care rather than hospital-based care.METHODS Two-arm, parallel-group,
superiority trial was conducted in three programmatic management of drug-resistant TB hospitals in Punjab and Sindh Provinces, Pakistan. We enrolled 425 patients with MDR-TB aged >15 years through block randomisation in community-based care (1-week hospitalisation) or hospital-based care
(2 months hospitalisation). Primary outcome was treatment success.RESULTS Among 425 patients with MDR-TB, 217 were allocated to community-based care and 208 to hospital-based care. Baseline characteristics were similar between the community and hospitalised arms, as well as in selected
sites. Treatment success was 74.2% (161/217) under community-based care and 67.8% (141/208) under hospital-based care, giving a covariate-adjusted risk difference (community vs. hospital model) of 0.06 (95% CI –0.02 to 0.15; P = 0.144).CONCLUSIONS We found no clear
evidence that community-based care was more or less effective than hospital-based care model. Given the other substantial advantages of community-based care over hospital based (e.g., more patient-friendly and accessible, with lower treatment costs), this supports the adoption of the community-based
care model, as recommended by the WHO.

Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND Diagnosing drug resistance is critical for choosing effective TB treatment regimens. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) represents an alternative approach to conventional phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (pDST) for diagnosing TB drug resistance.METHODS
We undertook a budget impact analysis estimating the costs of introduction and routine use of NGS in the Moldovan National TB Programme. We conducted an empirical costing study and collated price and operating characteristics for NGS platforms. We examined multiple NGS scenarios in comparison
to the current approach (pDST) for pre-treatment drug resistance testing over 2021–2025.RESULTS Annual testing volume ranged from 912 to 1,926 patients. For the pDST scenario, we estimated total costs of US$362,000 (2021 USD) over the 5-year study period. Total costs
for NGS scenarios ranged from US$475,000 to US$1,486,000. Lowest cost NGS options involved targeted sequencing as a replacement for pDST, and excluded individuals diagnosed as RIF-susceptible on Xpert® MTB/RIF. For all NGS scenarios, the majority (55–80%)
of costs were devoted to reagent kits. Start-up costs of NGS were small relative to routine costs borne each year.CONCLUSION NGS adoption will require expanded resources compared to conventional pDST. Further work is required to better understand the feasibility of NGS in settings
such as Moldova.

Authors: Cunha Júnior Acimar Gonçalves da , Penso Maria Aparecida
Published: September 2022

Este trabalho consiste em uma revisão sistemática sobre o impacto do câncer pediátrico na dinâmica familiar a partir do referencial teórico sistêmico de abordagem das famílias. Foi realizada revisão literária pelo portal de periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior do Ministério da Educação (CAPES/MEC), com uso da ferramenta “busca avançada”, bem como a busca nas bases de dados LILACS, PEPSIC e SCIELO. Vinte e quatro artigos foram selecionados para leitura completa e, com a análise de conteúdo temática, quatro categorias foram construídas para o funcionamento familiar e os subsistemas: câncer pediátrico e dinâmica familiar – enfrentamento e função; câncer pediátrico e subsistema conjugal – coesão, flexibilidade e comunicação; câncer pediátrico e subsistema parental – ser pais o tempo todo; e câncer pediátrico e subsistema fraternal – qual o lugar dos irmãos? Identificou-se maior coesão, mais expressividade dos membros e menor conflito contrapondo-se a maior suporte no seio familiar. Observou-se que o diagnóstico de câncer perpetua mudanças perenes na dinâmica familiar, apesar do esforço desta de manter um senso de normalidade. Novas pesquisas são necessárias sobre as relações dos subsistemas e dos padrões familiares “herdados” para as ações de enfrentamento e ajuste.

PRZESTĘPCZOŚĆ A BEZPIECZEŃSTWO SPOŁECZNOŚCI LOKALNYCH
Authors: Lewandowski Mateusz
Published: September 2022

Przestępczość jest jednym z głównych zagrożeń dla bezpieczeństwa społeczności lokalnych, której naukowa eksploracja może przyczynić się do podnoszenia poziomu tegoż bezpieczeństwa zarówno na poziomie lokalnym, jak i w skali całego państwa. Przeprowadzonemu badaniu naukowemu przyświecały dwa cele. Po pierwsze zdiagnozowanie poziomu bezpieczeństwa społeczności lokalnych, w tym w kontekście zamieszkiwania ich członków w okolicy osoby (osób), co do której posiadają wiedzę, że w przeszłości odbywała karę pozbawienia wolności. Po drugie określenie występowania zależności pomiędzy bezpieczeństwem społeczności lokalnych a posiadaniem przez ich członków doświadczeń związanych z występowaniem przestępczości, w tym szczególnie doświadczeń wiktymnych. Osiągnięciu celu badań posłużyło zastosowanie metody sondażu diagnostycznego. Jego wyniki wskazują na to, że bezpieczeństwo w badanych społecznościach lokalnych jest na wysokim poziomie, a główną zmienną różnicującą jego poziom jest płeć. W ujęciu statycznym poziom bezpieczeństwa kobiet jest wyższy niż mężczyzn, natomiast w ujęciu procesualnym tendencja jest odwrotna. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań nie wskazują na występowanie istotnej statystycznie zależności pomiędzy bezpieczeństwem a zamieszkiwaniem w okolicy osoby (osób) posiadającej przeszłość kryminalną. Na kanwie przeprowadzonych badań nie wydają się mieć również istotnego znaczenia, w kontekście bezpieczeństwa, doświadczenia respondentów związane z występowaniem przestępczości, w tym ich doświadczenia wiktymne. Procesualny charakter bezpieczeństwa oraz wielość czynników je kształtujących wskazują na potrzebę permanentnej eksploracji przedmiotu badań oraz w oparciu o jej wyniki podejmowanie działań legislacyjnych i organizacyjnych, mających na celu podnoszenie poziomu bezpieczeństwa społeczności lokalnych.

Background and Objectives: to compare the outcome of open reduction-internal fixation with plate and screws method and closed reduction-flexible intramedullary nailing method in the management of pediatric patients with unstable forearm fractures as regard to functional and cosmetic outcome. Patients and Methods: The final assessments of 42 pediatric patients between the ages of 5 to 15 years old, who were operated from April 2010 to February 2011 for both-bone forearm fractures in Erbil Teaching Hospital and Private Hospital with adequate follow up, were done and their medical records were prospectively evaluated. Results:42 children with unstable forearm fractures 21 were treated with open reduction and internal fixation of both radius and ulna using plate and screws (Group1)(mean age ,13years) and 21 were treated with close reduction and flexible intramedullary fixation (Group2)( mean age ,11years). Patient characteristics in the 2 groups were compared. In Four patients of Group 2, closed reduction was not possible because of soft tissue interposition that required open reduction with minimum incision at the fracture site. All patients achieved bone union; the mean union times were similar (P value=0.81), only one patient in each group had delayed union. Operating times were shorter in flexible nailing group (100 minutes in Group1 vs. 69 minutes in Group2, p<0.001). Conclusions: There was no significant difference in union rate between the methods. The functional outcome between the two groups was compared; there was no significant difference between them. Like other investigators, we also found 90.5% of excellent functional outcomes after the treatment of unstable forearm fractures by means of plating. As indicated in the literature, we found 95% of excellent functional results after flexible intramedullary nailing.

F. oxysporum is a facultative parasite that is part of its life as a saprophyte and becomes a parasite if there is a host plant. This study aims to determine the potential of endophytic bacteria from wild plants as biological agents control of F. oxysporum in-vitro. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Plant Protection, Phytophatology Unit, Faculty of Agriculture, Halu Oleo University from September 2020 to March 2021. The results showed that endophytic bacteria isolated from wild plants such as as Jamaica cherry/kersen (Muntingia calabura), Suruhan (Paperomia pellucida), and Markisa Hutan/Rambusa (Passiflora foetida) have the potential as biological agents to control F. oxysporum in vitro, with the two best isolates, namely ASR-7(3) and BK-3(2) which were to inhibit the growth of F. oxysporum through the mechanism of antibiosis and competition, produced enzyme bioactive compounds (amylase and protease) which degrade of pathogenic fungi, and are able to produce volatile compounds.

The purpose of this study was to determine the proximate value and the best formulation of cookies from a combination of wheat flour and durian seed flour (Durio zibethinus Murr). This study used a completely randomized design (CRD), consisting of 5 treatments, namely C0: (100% wheat flour: 0% durian seed flour) C1: (80% wheat flour: 20% durian seed flour) C2: (85% wheat flour: 15% durian seed flour) C3: (90% wheat flour: 10% durian seed flour) C4: (95% wheat flour: 5% durian seed flour). Each treatment was repeated 3 times, so that 15 experimental units were obtained. The data from the assessment results were statistically analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results showed that the combination of 95% wheat flour and 5% durian seed flour (C4) gave the best assessment results for organoleptic tests with an average preference value of 3.75 (like), aroma 3.48 (slightly like), taste 3.55 (like) and texture 3.73 (like). The proximate values of the selected cookies (C4) included water content of 4.5%, ash content of 1.6%, protein content of 13.9%, fat content of 26.7%, fiber content of 2.6% and carbohydrate content of 50%. The antioxidant activity of cookies in the C4 treatment was categorized as very weak, from the result of the highest substitution of durian seed flour (20%) the IC50 value was 3613 ppm.

The nexus between financial sector reforms and Nigeria’s economic performance is examined. Annual data for the period from 1981 to 2018 is used, and the impact of credit issued to the private sector on the economic growth in Nigeria is examined. The influence of market capitalization on economic growth in Nigeria is evaluated, the relationship between money supply to GDP and economic growth is determined, and lastly, the relationship between the exchange rate and economic growth in Nigeria is examined. The results of the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test show that the order of integration of the variables is I(1) and I(0), respectively. An Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was used because it suits the result of the preliminary test. A cointegration test among the variables was carried out using the ARDL bound test approach. The ARDL estimates reveal that market capitalization positively and significantly affects or influences economic performance in the long run, while credit supply to the private sector (financial deepening) positively and significantly influences Nigeria’s economic performance in the short run. The findings further show that Nigeria’s economy fails to converge whenever there is disequilibrium. The recommendation is made that, since capital market reforms appear to have a significant positive effect on the economy in the long run, the government should continue with the implementation of the necessary reforms in the Nigerian capital market and the financial sector in general for the betterment of Nigeria’s economy.
The economic specialization – a factor for the international competitiveness of Bulgaria

Published: September 2022

The dynamics of trade flows has a strong impact on the development of Bulgaria's economic specialisation and is an important condition for strengthening its competitive position. Changes in international business, conditioned by the development of global value chains, define a new structure of industries and of export and import potential, and this leads to the conclusion of regional trade agreements that challenge national competitiveness. It is the great importance of these problems for the future foreign economic relations of our country and the ways of finding solutions that provoked the research interest of the authors of the recently published book "Bulgaria in International Economic Specialization" (see Panushev, Hristova-Balkanska, Hubenova-Delisivkova, Marinov, Stefanova, 2021). Carried out within the framework of the research programme of the Institute of Economic Research at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, the study presents the changes in theoretical concepts and models of international specialisation, Bulgaria's place in the structure of trade flows and approaches to assessing economic specialisation. The authors focus on regional economic structures and internationally defined patterns of specialization, which are the basis for national and firm strategy and policy building. The book explores the conceptual approaches of classical and contemporary theories of international trade and their interpretation in assessing changes in the world economy. It analyses the changes in Bulgaria's international specialisation, influenced by our inclusion in the common framework of the single European market, which intensifies competition between EU member states and leads to a restructuring of firms' activities. This also determines the changes in both intra-industry trade and trade with third countries. The authors point out that international specialisation based on international technological differences will create modern competitive advantages for Bulgaria and contribute to its inclusion in global value chains. The challenge for Bulgarian firms is partnership with European companies and "the distribution of productivity gains depending on and resulting from technological progress in Bulgarian production".

Zamość pod okupacją austriacką w latach 1772–1809
Authors: Stankiewicz Zbigniew
Published: September 2022

Artykuł omawia przebieg blisko 40-letniej austriackiej okupacji w Zamościu, rozpoczętej po I rozbiorze. Twierdza Zamość została przekazana Austriakom w lipcu 1772 r. Podano skład nowej komendy Twierdzy Nowy Zamość, łącznie z nazwiskami dowódców różnych szczebli, także zmieniającą się obsadę garnizonu austriackiego. Autor ocenia, że po III rozbiorze twierdza przestała mieć znaczenie militarne. Ordynacja Zamojska została zwolniona z obowiązku utrzymywania fortyfikacji, okupanci też na nie nie łożyli (jedynie otwarcie zamurowanej Bramy Lubelskiej). W mieście pod okupacją działały: magazyn żywności, szpital i lazaret wojskowy, sąd wojskowy, punkt werbunkowy. Omówiono funkcjonowanie władz cywilnych w Zamościu przyłączonym do województwa ruskiego, potem obwodu bełskiego i cyrkułu bełskiego, wprowadzone przez Austriaków miary i wagi, system monetarny, działalność urzędów celnych i podległych im palcówek, obrót tytoniem i tabaką objęty monopolem od 1778 r., handel solą, organizację poczty, szkolnictwa, policji, sądów cywilnych, karnych, służby zdrowia ze szpitalami, straży ogniowej. Oddzielne rozdziały autor poświęca sytuacji Żydów, Niemców, a także Ordynacji Zamojskiej, dla której 1772 r. powołano Radę Ekonomiczną. Podano nazwiska burmistrzów i rajców oraz wójtów i ławników w tym okresie. Na zakończenie autor omawia przebieg wojny 1809 r., udany szturm polskich wojsk i zajęcie przez nie Zamościa, który wkrótce został włączony do Księstwa Warszawskiego.
Uwagi na temat koncepcji politycznych Bejtaru
Authors: Sołtysik Arkadiusz
Published: September 2022

Przełom wieków był czasem budzenia się świadomości narodowej narodów Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej. Kwestia samostanowienia narodowego dotknęła także naród żydowski. Znaczna część Żydów łączyła swój nacjonalizm z koncepcją ustanowienia ideologii syjonistycznej. Ojcem żydowskiej myśli narodowej i współczesnego syjonizmu był Theodor Herzl, a częściowo – Władimir Żabotyński, twórca Betaru, podążał za Hertzem i jego główną ideą. Brit Trumpeldor to organizacja młodzieżowa założona w 1923 roku w Rydze. Zainteresowanie Betarem wśród młodzieży żydowskiej było tak duże, że złożona struktura działała w całej Europie i Palestynie. Betar dążył do ustanowienia hierarchicznego państwa żydowskiego na ziemi Palestyny; będąc organizacją narodowo-radykalną, ruch ten nakreślał wzorce zarówno ideologiczne, jak i symbole zewnętrzne z innymi ruchami nacjonalistycznymi okresu międzywojennego. Członkowie Betaru nosili piaskowe koszule, guziki z menorą i witali się rzymskim salutem, za który żydowska lewica i komuniści zaatakowali członków organizacji nazywając ich „hitlerowskim Żydem” i „faszystami”.

Еврейский вопрос в политике модернизации позднеимперской России
Authors: Безаров Oлександр
Published: September 2022

Artykuł analizuje kwestię żydowską w polityce modernizacyjnej rządu carskiego w drugiej połowie XIX – początku XX wieku. Autor jest przekonany, że kwestia żydowska (kwestia równości Żydów) była tematem aktualnym na wszystkich trzech etapach polityki modernizacyjnej. Jeśli więc w okresie wielkich reform kwestia żydowska była rozpatrywana przez pryzmat politycznej lojalności Żydów wobec autokratycznego reżimu Aleksandra II, który skłaniał się do równouprawnienia, to w drugim i trzecim etapie (1881-1911 r.) problem rosyjskich Żydów został zaostrzony przez wzrost państwowego antysemityzmu, będącego integralną częścią ideologii imperialnego nacjonalizmu. Pewne próby rozwiązania kwestii żydowskiej podjęto na początku XX wieku w polityce V.K. Pleve, V.N. Kokovtseva, S.J. Witte i P.A. Stolypina. Jednak na tle sprzeczności polityki państwa carskiego wobec kwestii żydowskiej w ogóle, a w okresie modernizacji zwłaszcza, zniknęły nadzieje emancypacyjne Żydów rosyjskich. Wyciągnięto z tego wnioski, że polityka modernizacyjna ma charakter zasadniczo nieorganiczny, co nie mogło nie mieć odzwierciedlenia w ideologicznym i politycznym podejściu do kwestii żydowskiej. Mimo pewnych ustępstw, takich jak równouprawnienie Żydów w Królestwie Polskim w 1862 r., prawo wyborcze Żydów rosyjskich w latach 1905-1907 oraz próby zniesienia systemu kwot dla żydowskich akademików w latach 1907-1908, rząd nie odważył się zlikwidować instytucji strefy osadnictwa żydowskiego, która była zasadniczo formą średniowiecznego getta. Polityka państwowego antysemityzmu była nie tylko wynikiem umacniania się przez Romanowów carskiego patriotyzmu i mistycyzmu religijnego, lecz także reakcją autokracji na zauważalną działalność polityczną i rewolucyjną Żydów. Według autora autokracja ostatnich Romanowów okazała się zakładnikiem własnej polityki modernizacyjnej. Kraj przygotowywał się do głębokich zmian rewolucyjnych, w których kwestia żydowska odgrywała ważną rolę.
W poszukiwaniu „rasy panów”. Archeologia jako narzędzie budowania mitologii nazistowskiej
Authors: Konik Jacek
Published: September 2022

Adolf Hitler i jego partia NSDAP uwiedli naród niemiecki nie tylko swoją ideologią polityczną, lecz także odwołaniem się do popularnego wówczas mitu o doskonałej rasie aryjskiej. Za każdym pozytywnym, twórczym działaniem w historii ludzkości, za każdym wielkim dziełem sztuki i przełomem naukowym mieli stać, jak głosili zwolennicy Hitlera, Aryjczycy, najlepsza i najbardziej twórcza z ras ludzkich. Nordyckie ludy północnej Europy, a zwłaszcza Niemcy, miały być potomkami starożytnych Aryjczyków i jako takie powinny zająć ich miejsce przodków. Artykuł dotyczy mitu Aryjczyków, jego włączenia do teorii ras ludzkich oraz wykorzystania go przez nazistów do podporządkowania Niemców i ich rasizmowi. Omawia wykorzystanie archeologii i odkryć archeologicznych w szczególności do uwiarygodnienia mitologii nazistowskiej i zbudowanej wokół niej narracji, a także najbardziej spektakularne przykłady karier archeologicznych w III Rzeszy. Kiedy archeolodzy zaangażowali się po stronie nazizmu, stali się współwinnymi konstruowania zbrodniczej i ludobójczej ideologii i systemu władzy.
