The article contains an analysis of contextual models used for propaganda activities carried out in two state television stations – RT and CCTV, in connection with the protests in Hong Kong that have been ongoing since June 2019. The research, referred to in the text, is an analysis of the narrative created in connection with the protests on both televisions in the context relevant to the achievement of propaganda goals by broadcasters. Storytelling built a one-sided picture of events as a tool for persuasion and influence on public opinion using the existing social and political polarization. The research was carried out using the quantitative and qualitative method. The obtained conclusions are part of the research on propaganda and contemporary distribution channels to create alternative images of reality using contextual models by mass media positioning themselves as state broadcasters.

Published: January 2021

Revision of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive in the light of European media policy The Audiovisual Media Services Directive, 2010/13/UE, due to development of convergence and dig­italization phenomena, has responded to the technological paradigm shift, thereby continuing the late 1980s standard of transfrontier television. The dramatic shift of all aspects of audiovisual sector which has occurred for the last decade, triggered the adoption of its revision on the 14th of Novem­ber, 2018 which creates a media framework for the 21st century. The aim of the article is to point out – within the frame of historical aspects of European media policy, including a digital single mar­ket impact – the wide spectrum of its implications, taking into consideration the dual – cultural and economic – status of audiovisual media services. Hence, the analysis of certain regulatory changes, concerning the following issues, ought to be mentioned: 1) the scope of the audiovisual media no­tion; 2) principles of jurisdiction; 3) independence of national media regulators; 4) promotion of European works; 5) requirements for audiovisual commercial communications; 6) consumer pro­tection. The presentation of the subject in the light of the regulation historical aspects allows to come to the certain conclusions regarding the political, economic, social and cultural feasible results of the mentioned changes and their impact on media organisation and management in the new audiovisual environment. Therefore, the legal approach is justified; the interpretation of the law with the sub­sidiary role of methodological trend of legal hermeneutics are applied.
Election Marketing and Communication Management in Local Public Sphere
Authors: Biernacka-Ligięza Ilona
Published: January 2021

The proposed paper is going to be an analysis of communication management during local elections campaigns in Poland in 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018. The 2002 was chosen as the starting point of the analysis because of the following facts: 1) those were the first direct local elections for mayors/municipality heads; 2) the number of council members was reduced by law all of which heralded an interesting competition. The high turnover rate of candidates for councillors across different regions of Poland in 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018 local government elections has been attributed in part to the volatility caused by greater media and public interest in council issues. The paper is based on: the theory analysis, qualitative and quantitative research (questionnaires), statistical analysis (questionnaires and reports) and content analysis (selected papers; radio/TV stations; web pages). Surveys were carried out in: 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018. The survey was followed at the region of Lower Silesia. In this paper there is presented detailed data from the study of Dzierżoniów county. There were chosen varied types of communes: periphery and centre of the region. The group of around 2500 respondents was analysed.

Discrimination at School and its Consequences in the Sphere of the Psychosocial Functioning of Individuals Discrimination is a widespread and firmly established phenomenon in society. Its manifestations can be observed already at the stage of relations between children. School as a natural peer environment is a meeting place for different people with certain characteristics, where some individuals, due to the presence or absence of certain features, differ from the general public and it is the sequalities that cause discriminatory behaviour towards them. Discrimination is based on stereotypes and prejudices formed and functioning in society and has specific consequences for all spheres of life, both for those experiencing discrimination and those discriminating others.

The Functioning of Public Administration in a Crisis Situation Caused by External Factors: a COVID 19 Case Study The Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic has caused major changes to the functioning of countries and their communities around the world. We observe the consequences of the spread of a disease which knows no boundaries. Experts talk and write about the crisis, the effects of which affect various spheres of socio-economic life. Governments of many countries, with the support of public administration, have taken a number of activities related to ensuring the safety of citizens, but also the continuity of the state’s functioning and reducing the effects of a possible economic slowdown. The goal of the paper is to analyse how the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus has influenced and still influences public administration, taking into account a wide selection of activities, good practices in the areas of human resource management, customer service, as well as communication between national authorities and citizens.
Telewizja jako aktor polityczny w ocenie społecznej Polaków
Authors: Maciejewska-Mieszkowska Katarzyna
Published: January 2021

Television as a political actor in the social assessment by Poles Television, treated as one of political actors, is subject to social evaluation in terms of its credibility and trust. In the case of Polish audiovisual media, many years of surveys in the field show that in the last few years there have been fundamental changes in the perception of television broadcasts by Poles. This tendency should be associated with the dynamic transformations of the Polish political scene and the shaping of political preferences of the public. This publication aims to show changes in the assessment of television, taking into account the attitude of Poles towards political reality and their preferences in the use of specific sources of information.
Polscy migranci w Londynie w obliczu Brexitu – (re)adaptacja? Wyniki badań wstępnych
Authors: Winiecka Katarzyna
Published: January 2021

Polish migrants in London in the face of Brexit – (re)adaptation? Results of preliminary research. The article presents selected results of preliminary research regarding the life situation of Polish migrants living in London in the face of Brexit. The aim of the study was, among others, to analyze readaptation strategies in a group of Polish migrants in the conditions of the forthcoming geopolitical change, i.e. the UK’s exit from the European Union. The theoretical basis for the study was the concept of social anchoring. In the context of analyzing readaptation strategies in the conditions of migration, the concept can explain processes that stabilize the position of people in the face of social change, but also in a generally understood, rapidly changing society. At the same time, it can explain the implementation of specific adaptation strategies. Research results indicate that there is a relationship between the number and subjectively perceived ‘importance’ of social anchors, and adopted readaptation strategies in the face of Brexit. Issues related to economic and institutional and legal aspects turned out to be important anchors. I have also noted four types of ‘behavior’ that can be called readaptation strategies. They were called: strategy of citizenship, strategy of suspension (“Brexit numbness”), strategy of return and strategy of confidence. The research was carried out using a qualitative approach on a group of 25 Poles living in London. Interviews were conducted at the turn of April and May and in October 2019 as part of a scientific project: “Process of social (re)adaptation of Polish migrants in London in the face of Brexit – changing and redefining social status from an intragroup perspective” (NSC, Miniatura 2, Nr rej.: 2018/02/X/HS6/02300).

Published: January 2021

Perception of Poles and immigrants’ well-being in the opinions of women from the former Soviet countries: selected aspects In our meetings with representatives of other cultures, we look at each other, compare our experiences, create some ideas about the culture of a given country. The research goal is to explore images of Poles in the experience of immigrant women from post-Soviet countries, as well as to understand the subjective sense of their well-being in the situation of migration. The basis of the analysis are data from long observation of social media, scientific publications, reports, blogs. I pay special attention to the view of Belarusian women living in Poland, also because of the small number of thematic scientific publications from the perspective of this social group. The characteristics of Poles that immigrants from Belarus, Ukraine and Russia consider to be typical are presented. My inspiration comes from cultural theories in the sociology of emotions, namely the category of emotional culture and gender ideology by Arlie Russel Hochschild are used.

Online presentation of audio and video recordings by the state archives versus the issues related to respecting copyright and the related rights. Several comments of the academia This paper focuses on signalling the most important problems related to sharing the special group of archive materials consisting of sound and image recordings in the context of the information needs of users, including school and university students. The author lists specific possibilities that archives have in the light of the existing legislation, including the Law on Archival Fonds and Archives (as amended) and the Copyright and Related Rights Law. He also draws attention to the need to adapt the existing solutions in the area of sharing audiovisual materials to the actual needs of users and suggests abandoning the solutions that come down to sound and image presentation (i.e. descriptions only) in favour of improving the appeal of the existing websites and, first and foremost, interacting with users. The author also presents the services offered by national archives in terms of reprography of sound and image materials, and he addresses the inconsistency between such offering and the declaration to provide them. The author addresses the use of audiovisual materials by national archives, arriving at a conclusion that this special type of archive materials receives relatively poor promotion. He also identifies the most urgent legislative changes required to allow archives to use sound and image in order to perform their statutory tasks of sharing and promoting archival fonds and building a positive image of archives.
Archiwalia Państwowego Banku Rolnego jako źródło do badań nad historią gospodarczą polskiej wsi i rolnictwa w I poł. XX w.
Authors: Kłusek Mirosław
Published: January 2021

Archival materials of the Polish Agricultural Bank as a source for research on the economic history of the Polish countryside and agriculture in the first half of the 20th c. The body of work of historians regarding the Polish countryside and agriculture in the first half of the 20th century is relatively extensive. The majority of studies on farming primarily address the post-war period, discuss the interwar period to a lesser degree, with barely touching upon the Nazi occupation. The situation is similar when it comes to publications regarding particular areas of agriculture and the means of production. Unfortunately, what those publications have in common is that none of them uses materials connected to agricultural banking. The objective of the article is to encourage those who study or intend to study the economic history of the Polish countryside and agriculture of the first half of the 20th century to research the records of the State Agricultural Bank (1919–1949) kept by the National Archives. Analysis of the publications related to the State Agricultural Bank (hereinafter the PBR) and the archive materials connected with its activity, kept by the National Archives, suggests that: 1. The BPR had a key role in implementing the farming policy of the national authorities and was crucial to the development of agriculture and the countryside; 2. the legacy of the PBR in the National Archives is remarkably vast (tens of thousands of archive units) and covers a wide range of issues, from banking through the development of farming to the situation in the countryside in the first half of the 20th century; 3. the vast credit records of the PBR kept by the National Archives offer a wide range of possibilities for the researchers focused on the economic history of the Polish countryside and agriculture, as they provide a plethora of interesting information on the situation of agriculture and farmers between 1919 and 1949.

Authors: Wiśniewska-Drewniak Magdalena
Published: January 2021

The Archival Science journal in the years 2011–2020 – an analysis of research papers Archival Science is currently the most important archive journal, published in English since 2001. The aim of this article is to analyse articles published in that journal in the years 2011–2020. Four types of issues were analysed: the authors’ affiliations, geographical characteristics of articles, research methods and the subject of the published texts. As a result, it was noted that authors of articles come mostly from English-speaking countries (which confirms the trend from the years 2001–2010, studied by Eric Ketelaar in 2010) and when the subject of an article focuses on a specific geographical area, it concerns English-speaking countries as well. It was observed that many research articles do not present specific research methods and those that do mention not only traditional methods, such as archival research and a literature review, but also methods characteristic of social sciences (e.g. an interview, observation, survey). Ten most popular subjects described in the analysed texts include: digital issues, the underprivileged, state archives and documentation, the history of archives, human rights, decolonisation, ethics, preparing archival materials, social archives, the profession of an archivist and documentation manager.

The changing electoral landscape of Spain (2015-2019)
Authors: Kurakina-Damir A. A.
Published: January 2021

In the middle of the second decade of the 21st century there has begun a process of reorganization of Spanish electoral landscape. The Congress of Deputies (lower, and the key chamber of the Spanish Parliament) in its 2019 iteration is not much like the Congress of 2000-2011. The list of parties does not include Unión, Progreso y Democracia (UРyD) and Izquierda Unida (IU), which were predicted to grow significantly due to the decline in competitiveness of the leading parties, and were replaced by new members – Podemos, Ciudadanos, Más País, Teruel Existe. The Catalan parties, being the representatives of the most politically intense region of Spain, were also significantly altered and consequently strengthened their positions. A number of autonomous regions changed their ‘party affiliations’, and an atmosphere of uncertainty reigned in sparsely populated provinces. The author discusses main reference points for the political process of the country which significantly changed the balance of power, as well as the difficulties that political actors faced in the process of reaching or not reaching sought compromises. Over the past 4 years voters have been forced to return to polling stations twice to elect the national Parliament. Evidently, the Cabinet must urgently reform the system of government formation in order to avoid similar problems in the future.

Authors: Shin Siho , Jung Jaehyo , Kang Mingu , Kim Youn Tae
Published: January 2021

Arrhythmia is a cardiovascular disease with an irregular heartbeat, which can lead to a heart attack if it lasts for an excessive amount of time. Because the symptoms of arrhythmia occur irregularly, the heart needs to be monitored for a lengthy time period. This study suggests an arrhythmia diagnosis algorithm using GoogLeNet and a GAN. Because the algorithm proposed in this study can add to the number of data using a GAN, it can accurately diagnose an arrhythmic occurrence from measured lifelog over a short period of time. The classification of ECG data using GoogLeNet and a GAN showed an accuracy of approximately 99%.

Casing damage is the result of a number of factors in the long process of oilfield development, so it must be correctly judged and repaired in time to ensure the normal production of the oil fields. With the development of data science, it has always been an imperative problem remained to be solved. In this paper, we adopt a data-driven and the machine learning approach to casing damage forecasts. Firstly, from the fields of geology, engineering and development, a lot of history data is collected and processed. Then, based on these dynamic and static data samples, the random forest algorithm is used to create the casing damage prediction model. Finally, after the model is tested in two fault blocks, the results indicate that accuracy rates are 91% and 75%, which proves the validity and performance of the mode.

Published: January 2021

This paper describes efforts by National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences (NARSS) to help the Egyptian government to manage and monitor the national projects. We successfully developed a geospatial data sharing portal (NARSSGeoPortal) as part of the government need to build national Decision Support System (DSS). We were able to solve the software development issues as well as the satellite imagery sourcing issues, but the main challenge remains around how to collect complete and correct data from the public about their private businesses nationwide. The most challenging is how to engage the public and encourage the business owners who are the main sources of data to provide the government Geoportal with data about their businesses. It is also challenging to engage the scientists and experts from government research centers into the data sharing Geoportal. Furthermore, it is a challenge to integrate the government research centers with the public businesses’ daily operation. The data sharing Geoportal is built for all national projects and government authorities, however, in this paper we focus on the Agriculture authorities and farming businesses where the challenge is how to collect correct and complete data per acre about the seeds, fertilizers, water, pest control and all other farm related data that the satellite imagery does not provide. The goal is to integrate the farms into unified national monitoring, and control system while developing advanced smart farms with the use of Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed collaboration agriculture platform fills the gap between two groups. The first group includes the government authorities, financial institutions, and research centers. The second group includes farmers, supply chain, and agriculture engineers. The platform show how employment can be generated by transforming the national ecosystem. The paper also fills a major gap in industry as well as in academia by providing the first Bluetooth Low Energy computer aided design tool that will facilitate testing, designing, deploying, managing and debugging of real Bluetooth Low Energy networks.

Соперничество внутриэлитных большевистских группировок по проблеме трактовки новой экономической политики в 1923 — начале 1926 гг.
Authors: Baranov Andrey V.
Published: January 2021

Проблема выбора стратегии общественного развития, адекватной оценки состояния и тенденций развития социума является одной из актуальных проблем исследования политической элиты России ХХ в. В условиях советского авторитарного режима принятие стратегических политических решений могло совершаться только внутри высшего слоя партийно-государственной элиты. Автор статьи аргументирует наличие в рамках большевизма трёх версий доктрины новой экономической политики в 1923—1926 гг.: левой («троцкистской»), центристской и правой («бухаринской»). Автор выявляет сходства и различия данной доктрины на стадиях кризиса 1923—1924 г. и «расширения» нэпа (осень 1924 — весна 1926 гг.). Автор опровергает ряд политизированных мифов о взглядах Л.Д. Троцкого, Л.Б. Каменева, Н.И. Бухарина на новую экономическую политику. Автор статьи отмечает объективные экономические и политические факторы, которые сделали невозможным термидорианское перерождение большевистской доктрины нэпа, привели к догматизации трактовок состояния многоукладного общества и перспектив его развития. В итоге выбор стратегии социалистической модернизации в середине 1920-х гг. был подчинен прагматическим интересам борьбы за власть.
Pathways of Change through Women’s Collective Action: How Women are Overcoming Barriers and Bucking Trends to Influence Rural Development in Indonesia
Authors: Diprose Rachael , Savirani Amalinda , Hartoto Annisa Sabrina , Setiawan Ken M.P.
Published: January 2021

This overview to the edited volume is structured to briefly explore the following key points that emerge in the case analysis of how women’s collective action has created changes for both women’s well-being and the implementation of the Village Law, as well as how such change has been supported by a wide range of CSOs across different contexts and sectors. First, we identify variation in the diversity of priorities and initiatives that villages have introduced as a result of women’s influence on the implementation of the Law. Such initiatives go beyond infrastructure and economic development projects (although women have also prioritised these kinds of initiatives) and traverse multiple sectoral issues in seeking to address challenges for villagers, particularly women, through village development. Second, we identify the different types of changes that are evident in the case studies that have implications for women’s everyday wellbeing, as well as their influence on structures of power, decision making and village development at the individual and institutional levels, and in broader contexts. Third, we discuss how changes have come about for rural village women and what factors have contributed to the changes that are illustrated through the case studies. This includes a discussion of how context dynamics constrain or enable women’s influence, variation in core challenges (or sectoral issues) for women, and how collective action has contributed to forging these changes as is illustrated by the case studies. Fourth, we explore the temporal dimensions of change. And finally, we explore some of the pathways by which such changes have occurred in the research areas, that being different contexts.

Ikhtisar dari volume ini disusun untuk mengeksplorasi secara ringkas poin-poin utama yang dipaparkan di dalam studi kasus yakni bagaimana aksi kolektif perempuan telah membawa perubahan baik bagi kesejahteraan diri perempuan, maupun dampaknya bagi pelaksanaan Undang-Undang Desa di Indonesia, serta bagaimana perubahan-perubahan tersebut terwujud dengan dukungan berbagai organisasi masyarakat sipil dalam lintas konteks dan sektor. Pertama, kami mengidentifikasi perbedaan dan keberagaman prioritas dan inisiatif pembangunan desa sebagai hasil pengaruh keterlibatan perempuan dalam pelaksanaan UndangUndang Desa. Inisiatif pembangunan tersebut tidak hanya terkait isu infrastruktur dan ekonomi (walaupun perempuan juga telah mengupayakan beberapa inisiatif di isu ini), namun juga meliputi berbagai permasalahan pembangunan desa dan tantangan sektoral lain yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat desa, khususnya perempuan. Kedua, kami menjabarkan berbagai bentuk perubahan yang berdampak pada kesejahteraan sehari-hari perempuan, dan juga pengaruhnya pada struktur kuasa, pembuatan keputusan dan prioritas pembangunan, baik di tingkat desa, masyarakat, institusi, maupun konteks yang lebih luas. Ketiga, kami membahas proses yang mendasari perubahan, dan faktor-faktor yang berkontribusi terhadapnya, sebagaimana yang digambarkan melalui studi kasus yang ada. Ini termasuk pembahasan bagaimana dinamika konteks menghambat atau mendorong pengaruh perempuan, perbedaan dari isu dan tantangan sektoral yang dihadapi oleh perempuan, dan bagaimana aksi kolektif perempuan berkontribusi terhadap perubahan yang ada. Keempat, kami mengeksplorasi dimensi temporal dari perubahan tersebut. Terakhir, kami mengeksplorasi beberapa jalur atau jalan perubahan yang terjadi di lokasi penelitian, yang bervariasi sesuai dengan konteks lokal.

В статье всесторонне рассмотрены проблемные вопросы, связанные с отсрочкой отбывания уголовного наказания, а также проанализированы практические сложности реализации отсрочки отбывания наказания, дана краткая историческая справка о развитии института отсрочки отбывания наказания в отечественном уголовном законодательстве. Автор выделяет не только положительные, но и отрицательные условия, которые способны изменить содержание института отсрочки отбывания наказания. На основании изучения статистических данных Судебного департамента при Верховном Суде Российской Федерации о назначении отсрочки отбывания наказания и ее отмены, а также данных ФСИН России о состоящих на учете в уголовно-исполнительных инспекциях осужденных с отсрочкой отбывания наказания предлагается классифицировать отсрочку отбывания наказания по времени ее применения (на стадии вынесения приговора суда с последующим освобождением от реального отбывания наказания и на стадии исполнения приговора суда), рассматривается вопрос о применении отсрочки отбывания наказания осужденным, усыновившим детей или взявшим их под свою опеку и попечительство. Обосновывается целесообразность считать осужденных, к которым применена отсрочка отбывания наказания, уклоняющимися от воспитания ребенка, если они два и более раза в год были подвергнуты административной ответственности за нарушение общественного порядка.

В статье обосновывается необходимость включения важнейших категорий «дух» и «духовность» в научную психологию. Показана перспективность дальнейшего развития методологии юридической психологии осужденных на основе анализа духовной сущности человека. Философско-антропологический анализ духовности человека актуализирует важность традиционных консервативных подходов к рассмотрению проблемы, допускающих включение богословских парадигм и принципов в виде совокупности образцов рассуждения, образцов экзегетики Священного Писания и других творений Церкви. С этих позиций рассматривается сотериологический ракурс антропологии и богословия в трудах русских мыслителей. Раскрывается смысл достижения духовности в деле спасения человека и приводится положение И. А. Ильина о том, что вне Бога нет жизни, поскольку Он есть Один Сущий и это закон Его Всецелого бытия. Знание этого закона имеет предельный практический смысл не только для раскаяния в совершенном преступлении и исправления осужденных, но и для спасения души каждого человека.

Background: Pain is a major symptom usually associated with most disease states. Despite the existence of many therapies, the management of pain remains unsatisfactory globally. Medicinal plants have been used since medieval times and are still being used today for treating some ailments. Desmodiumadscendens is used traditionally for the treatment of epilepsy, pain, and inflammatory conditions. However, data on its effect on pain is very scanty.
Objective: This study sought to investigate the antinociceptive effect of an ethanolic extract of D.adscendensin rodents.
Methods: The pulverized whole plant material of D.adscendens was extracted by cold maceration with 70% ethanol. Chemical, thermal, and neuropathic pain were induced in rodents. The possible mechanisms of analgesia of the extract were also investigated.
Results: The extract of D.adscendens (DAE) attenuated acetic acid-induced writhing (p=0.0012), ameliorated formalin-induced nociceptive pain in both the first (p =0.0058) and second phases (p = 0.0116), increased the percent maximal possible effect (%MPE) in the hot plate test (p <0.0001) and significantly reduced paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain in both thermal hyperalgesia (p <0.0001) and cold allodynia (p =0.0024). The analgesic effect exhibited by DAE was significantly reversed in the presence of naloxone, glibenclamide, ondansetron, prazosin, and yohimbine. However, the analgesic effect of DAE was not significantly affected by theophylline, atropine, L-Nitro-arginine methyl ester(L-NAME),and nifedipine.
Conclusion: The ethanolic extract of D.adscendens inhibited chemical, thermal, and paclitaxel-induced neuropathic nociception. The DAE may be acting through the opioidergic, adrenergic systems, adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive K+channels, and the serotoninergic pathways to ameliorate pain in murine models.

Background. Ultrasound diagnosis (echography) is now one of the main diagnostic methods used in medical practice. Based on the results obtained by ultrasound (ultrasound), a plan for further diagnostic examination of the patient can be made and/or treatment policy can be determined for a specific patient. Purpose. Studying the echographic features of the internal genitalia in adolescent girls with abnormal uterine bleeding depending on the time of the disease debut and hormonal levels. Materials and methods. Two hundred and eighty-nine adolescent girls with abnormal uterine bleeding were examined at the age of 11–17. The patients were divided into three groups. Group I included 163 adolescents with manifestation of the disease with menarche or in the first year of menstrual function. Group 2 included 65 girls in whom AUB arose in the second and later years of the existence of menstrual function. Group 3 included 61 patients with an unsteady menstrual cycle. LH, FSH, PRL, E2, T, IRI, IPFR-1, SHPS were determined in the blood serum. The longitudinal, transverse and anteroposterior dimensions of the uterus and ovaries were measured. Results. The evaluation of the ultrasound data of the pelvic organs of girls with AUB was carried out. It was revealed that the parameters of the uterus within the age norm were recorded only in 35 % of patients. The least frequently in girls with previous oligomenorrhea (29.5 %). More than a third had persistent ovarian follicles or cysts and 62.8 % had an increase in the intrauterine M-echo. The dependence of the size of the uterus on the pattern of hormones was revealed. A mathematical analysis of associative relationships of the hormonal background and echographic parameters of the uterus is presented. Conclusions. Ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs is a useful tool in identifying the morphological features of the uterus and ovaries, complements the endocrine profile of patients, which increases the diagnostic accuracy, and its results serve
