Published: December 2023

Common barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important agricultural crop, when the applied biotechnology methods are used for the development of new varieties. One of the promising biotechnological approaches is the production of haploid plants from anther culture or isolated microspores. The efficiency of these androclinium-based methods depends on the developmental phase of microspores in the anthers. For cereals, the optimal stage of development is a mononuclear, highly vacuolated microspore.

   Considering the labor intensity of cytological control of the stages of formation of haploid germ cells for routine biotechnological procedures, a reliable and simple method for selecting ears with microspores at the optimal stage of development is required. In this regard, the purpose of the current study was to identify an effective morphometric parameter corresponding to the highly vacuolated mononuclear stage of microspores in the anthers of common barley of domestic varieties ‘Leon’, ‘Fox 1’ and ‘Ratnik’ and the reference variety for genetic transformation ‘Golden Promise’, for the introduction of these varieties into in vitro culture.

   In all studied genotypes, there has been found polymorphism of microspores, due to the asynchrony of their development. The largest number of highly vacuolated microspores was established for the domestic variety ‘Leon’. In the search for a morphometric parameter associated with the optimal stage of microspores, there have been analyzed such indicators as the interval distance between the flag leaf and the second one (F-2l), the interval distance between the flag leaf and the tip of the ear located in the tube (F-K), the length and width of the ear, and also calculated the morphometric criterion (ratio of F-2l:F-K), previously proposed to determine the optimal stage of anther development in a number of genotypes of spring bread wheat. There has been established that, of all the parameters studied, the stage of development of microspores as initial androclinium cells can be determined using a morphometric criterion. However, it is important to remember that, in addition to the intravarietal asynchrony of microspore formation, there is high intervarietal variability, therefore, the values of the morphometric criterion should be selected for each variety introduced into the biotechnological process.

The current paper has presented the experimental results of estimating the influence of moisture availability on productivity and yield structure elements of the winter wheat varieties. There have been studied 11 winter common wheat varieties of a semi-intensive type developed in the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy”.

   The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of different soil moisture levels on the yield and its structural elements of winter wheat.

   The varieties were tested in laboratory conditions by simulating soil drought (sucrose solution was with an osmotic pressure of 16 atmospheres), as well as on a vegetation plot “zasushnik” with optimal and insufficient moisture. When determining potential drought resistance based on the ‘seed germination’ indicator, the studied varieties were divided into three resistance groups. The varieties ‘Ayuta’ (83.3 %) and ‘Volnitsa’ (82.1 %) were highly drought-resistant, which significantly exceeded the standard variety ‘Don 107’ (70.3 %) (НСР05 ± 6.0 %). The estimation of varieties in contrasting moisture conditions made it possible to identify stable yield traits, such as ‘length of a head’, ‘number of grains per main head’ and ‘grain weight per main head’, and ‘1000-grain weight’. High depression values under drought conditions were established according to ‘number of productive stems’, ‘length of a head’ and ‘1000-grain weight’ (6.5; 7.0; 12.0 %, respectively). There has been found a correlation between the laboratory and vegetation estimation of the trial. The correlation coefficient between resistance to lack of moisture in soil (number of viable seeds) and a depression degree of yield indicators (‘number of productive stems’, ‘length of a head’, ‘number of grains per main head’, ‘grain weight per main head’, ‘1000-grain weight’) ranged from 0.32 to 0.98. There have been identified the varieties ‘Zhavoronok’, ‘Polina’, ‘Premiera’ and ‘Podarok Krymu’, combining laboratory drought resistance with a complex of productivity traits.

Authors: Krivosheev G. Ya. , Ignatiev A. S.
Published: December 2023

Transferring maize hybrids to a sterile basis is the most important condition for their introduction into production. In this regard, it is important to study the behavior of the initial forms of hybrids, namely self-pollinated lines, in the sterile cytoplasm.

   The purpose of the current study was to estimate the response of new self-pollinated maize lines, depending on their origin, to the “M” and “C” types of CMS, to identify natural restoring agents and complete sterility fixatives.

   The study was carried out at the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy” in 2021–2023.

   The subjects of the study were 20 new self-pollinated maize lines of various origins, 6 sources of sterility, 120 testcross maize hybrids.

   There was found that the response of maize lines depended on their origin. Lines belonging to the same group (by origin) usually had the same reaction to the Moldovan (“M”) and Bolivian (“C”) types of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS). The closer the lines are related, the smaller the differences. The new self-pollinated lines of the first group ‘SL 171’, ‘SL 172’, ‘SL 174’, ‘SL 175’, ‘SL 176’ and ‘SL 177’ were characterized by complete consolidation of the type “M” of CMS (class 0). Lines of subgroup Ia were fixed, but subgroups Ib did not completely restore the type “C” of sterility. In the second group there were identified the complete ‘SL 181’, ‘SL 182’ (class 4, 5) and incomplete ‘SL 183’, ‘SL 184’ (class 2–5) reducing agents of the type “M” of sterility. There was determined that all lines of the second group perpetuated sterility of the Bolivian type (class 0). There have been identified the lines of the third group ‘SL 191’, ‘SL 192’, ‘SL 193’, ‘SL 194’, as full reducing agents of the type “M” of CMS, two of them ‘SL 191’ and ‘SL 193’ are also complete reducing agents of the type “C” of CMS (class 4, 5). All lines of the fourth group could be classified as complete fixatives (class 0, 1) of the studied types of CMS. The results obtained will improve the efficiency of work on transferring maize hybrids to a sterile basis.

Published: December 2023

The current paper has presented the results of two studies in 2019–2020, the purpose of which was to analyze the main elements of productivity of maize lines from the VIR collection. The work was carried out in accordance with an agreement on scientific cooperation with the involvement of the VIR maize collection in the breeding program in the amount of 100 numbers, in the foothill zone of Kabardino-Balkaria (Chegem district, village of Nartan).

   The purpose of the current work was to study and evaluate the morpho-biological and economically valuable traits of maize lines from the VIR collection in the conditions of the foothill zone of Kabardino-Balkaria.

   Thus, according to the estimation of the quantitative traits of the maize samples, there have been selected 36 numbers. According to the plant height, there were identified 8 numbers, where the value of the trait was from 2.41 to 2.47 m, and according to the number of leaves, 8 samples were allocated from 16.4 to 16.8 pieces. According to the sign of attachment of a commercial ear, all selected lines were in the range above the mean values from 0.98–1.06 m. For other traits, there were no significant differences compared to the standard. Analysis of the elements of productivity of maize lines from the VIR collection made it possible to identify 13 samples based on ear length, considering НСР05, whose values were higher than that of the standard, and this indicator was at a level of 22.5–25.2 cm. In terms of the number of grain rows on an ear, the best results were observed in 14 lines with the trait varying from 18.0 to 18.6 pieces, and the number of grains in a row of an ear there were 18 numbers, where the range varied from 37.2 to 46.1. In terms of grain yield, there were identified the best 4 lines (from 83.5 to 87.7 % compared to the standard value of 79.6 %). In terms of one of the main and main complex traits, such as grain productivity (at 14% humidity), there were identified 6 lines, where the variation ranged from 4.01 to 4.5 t/ha.
A systematic review of psychosocial challenges for MSM living with HIV among diverse and intersecting minorities
Authors: Amato Anthony Theodore , Émond Gilbert
Published: December 2023

Men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV have been studied extensively for stigmatization and inequitable factors affecting well-being. Although intersecting factors are acknowledged in some studies, they are rarely discussed in the context of health implications among multiple minority identities. This leaves psychosocial research outputs to focus their efforts among less stigmatized MSM groups, white men, while disregarding specific issues among historically marginalized MSM-related identities (e.g., racialized, Indigenous, and aging populations). As per the 95-95-95 goals set by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS, this systematic review covers psychosocial protective and risk factors experienced by HIV-positive MSM while also considering other intersecting identities. Following a standardized search inquiry, 2,139 records were identified and narrowed down to 24 peer-reviewed articles which were systematically reviewed. Psychological and social protective factors are contextually described. Some risk factors such as co-occurring stigmas, psychological distress, exposure to violence, and trauma among diverse MSM can potentiate greater risk-taking behaviours associated with HIV transmission among HIV-positive men. These findings highlight factors that contribute to resilient pathways among racialized minorities and other intersections among MSM while also examining specific psychological stressors. Tailored interventions and care for minorities with intersecting identities, with a focus on co-occurring stigmas, are crucial to ensure the well-being of diverse HIV-positive MSM and reduce HIV transmission. We propose an adaptation to the minority stress model to refine available tools and provide future studies with more accurate depictions of the lived experiences among diverse MSM.
Men’s engagement in and enjoyment of cunnilingus: The role of gendered attitudes, sexual scripts, and masculinity

Published: December 2023

There is currently little research investigating men’s lack of engagement in cunnilingus. This study explored reasons why some men do not engage in cunnilingus, as well as characteristics that distinguish those who engage from those who do not. A convenience sample of 935 straight and bisexual/pansexual male participants were asked to indicate whether they have ( n = 833, M age = 37.14, SD age = 14.12) or have not ( n = 102, M age = 21.63, SD age = 6.11) engaged in cunnilingus. Additionally, we interrogated participants’ sexual history, precarious manhood belief, sexist beliefs, sexual narcissism, homophobia, and attitudes toward women’s genitals. Our results indicated that engagement in cunnilingus is very common among men who have sex with women, with 89.09% of our sample having performed oral sex at least once and the overwhelming majority of engagers (94.47%) indicating enjoyment. However, we also identified that men who do not engage in cunnilingus demonstrated greater levels of homophobia, had more negative attitudes toward women’s genitals, and were less likely to be sexually narcissistic than men who did engage in cunnilingus. Endorsement of precarious manhood belief, benevolent sexism, and hostile sexism did not influence engagement in cunnilingus. Results also indicated that the primary reason men do not engage in or enjoy cunnilingus—aside from lack of opportunity—was the perception that cunnilingus is “gross.” Further, men who engaged in oral sex but did not enjoy it demonstrated greater endorsement of both precarious manhood belief and hostile sexism, as well as higher levels of homophobia and more negative attitudes toward women’s genitals.

Published: December 2023

We used concept-mapping methods to gain insights into promising HIV prevention intervention strategies from the collective experience of heterosexual Black men (HBM) in four cities of Ontario. We engaged 60 HBM in online group concept-mapping sessions. First, we held a brainstorming session where the HBM generated 226 statements anonymously on strategies to reduce HIV vulnerabilities. The statements were condensed to 123. Second, the HBM ( n = 45) sorted the 123 statements into self-created categories. Third, the HBM rated the strategy statements by importance ( n = 45) and feasibility ( n = 41). Finally, cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling were used to describe data patterns. The statements cluster tagged “family and individual level interventions” had the highest mean rating in importance (4.061) and feasibility (3.610). The policy interventions cluster solution was rated second highest in importance (IR = 4.058) and the sixth in feasibility (FR = 3.413). Other cluster solutions ratings were addressing racism (third highest in importance [IR = 4.030] and fourth highest in feasibility [FR = 3.514]); healthcare, research, and economic opportunities (fourth highest in importance [IR = 4.018] and third highest in feasibility [FR = 3.526]); sexual health awareness strategies (fifth highest in importance [IR = 3.993] and highest in feasibility [FR = 3.611]) and sex/HIV education (sixth highest in importance [IR = 3.975] and fifth highest in feasibility [FR = 3.442]); and individual and community empowerment (lowest in importance [IR = 3.846] and lowest in feasibility [FR = 3.375]). Intergenerational (family and individual), policy, and anti-racism interventions are the top three priority strategies for HIV prevention and care for HBM and communities in Ontario.

Published: December 2023

This study investigates the implementation of the Nutrition North Canada (NNC)-funded cooking circle program in the Inuvialuit (Inuit) hamlet of Paulatuk, Northwest Territories. The objectives of this study are to co-develop a culturally relevant logic model and to conduct a process evaluation of program implementation to identify and assess key enablers and barriers. The co-developed Mukluk Logic Model played an instrumental role in the conceptualization of the process evaluation. The process evaluation results indicated that the long-standing sustainability of the program is related to the consistency of program funding, engaging facilitation practices, and creative utilization of the multi-purpose space for program activities. However, significant barriers limit program sustainability. These include funding amounts and distribution, space and equipment limitations, and human resources challenges. This study illustrates the utility of qualitative process evaluation research in a Canadian Arctic community context and generates important place-based knowledge and insights to better support northern community-based food preparation programs.
Indigenous Feminist Evaluation Methods: A Case Study in “My Two Aunties”
Authors: Meissner Shelbi Nahwilet , Braithwaite Jeremy , Thorne Karan , Martinez Art , Lycett Elizabeth
Published: December 2023

This paper offers some key characteristics of Indigenous feminist approaches to evaluation and spotlights a unique and promising example of Indigenous feminist evaluation methods in the My Two Aunties (M2A) program. Though Indigenous feminist evaluation methods are diverse, complex, and community-specific, some general characteristics we point to in this analysis are commitments to anti-colonial conceptions of family, gender, and belonging, an assertion of the epistemic and evaluative importance of felt knowledge, the explicit confrontation of settler colonialism’s impact on Indigenous life, and the commitment to the transformative potential of community-led caretaking. We then turn to what we see as an exemplar of Indigenous feminist evaluation methods—the evaluation component of the My Two Aunties (M2A) program. Our paper will provide theoretical scaffolding for Indigenous feminist evaluation and add to the growing body of Indigenous scholarship that challenges what “counts” as evidence in settler scholarship arenas.

This essay is a survey of the field of Armenian Genocide studies, which outlines its academic development over the past sixty years and the conditions of its production. The latter refers to the state-sponsored denial of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey, and to the collusion, or at least acquiescence, of some Middle East studies scholars or organizations with such a denial. The essay assesses the state of the current historiography and the issue of access to the main relevant archival sources. Finally, it points to some of the current debates and gaps in the existing literature, and possibly to the road that lies ahead. 1
Knowledge and Perceptions of Antimicrobial Stewardship Concepts Among Final Year Veterinary Students in South Africa
Authors: Fick Linè , Crafford Lucille , Schoeman Johan , Schellack Natalie
Published: December 2023

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a major global public health crisis due to inappropriate use in humans, animals, and crops. Studies to assess the knowledge and perceptions of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) practices among medical and health care professionals have been conducted, yet this is the first among veterinary students in South Africa. A descriptive study surveyed 147 final year veterinary students at the Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria. Of these, 102 completed the questionnaire (69% response rate). Most stated they knew what AMS was, while a minority heard of it for the first time. A small number understood poor hand washing could contribute to AMR. Almost a quarter of students stated their AMS knowledge was poor, and most noted a need for more training. The Bachelor of Veterinary Sciences curriculum should include more material on AMS and AMR to bridge training gaps.
Veterinary Student Evaluations of Teaching: Scores and Response Rate When Administered before or after Final Exams
Authors: Bailey Misty R. , Lane India F. , Biddix J. Patrick
Published: December 2023

In higher education, instructors and administrators use student evaluations of teaching (SETs) as formative and summative assessments of instruction; thus, they need adequate response rates for optimal validity and reliability. Veterinary students are often requested to complete dozens of SETs each semester, and response rate is shown to decline as the number of SETs increases. Allowing students to complete SETs after final examinations has been suggested to help increase response; however, students’ knowledge of their final course grade has been previously shown to negatively influence SET scores. This case study explored how making SETs available to veterinary students after final exams affected quantitative item scores and response rate when compared to SETs administered during the final weeks of the semester, prior to final examinations. Participants ( n = 262) were randomly assigned to before finals or after finals groups, and 171 students completed 2,926 SETs. Students were more likely to complete evaluations before finals (vs. after), and first-year students completed more SETs than third-year students. Compared to the prior year, in which SETs were administered before finals, students in the study year completed 31% fewer SETs. Timing of SET delivery did not significantly affect SET item scores, but third-year students rated instructors higher than first-year students on five of 10 items. Students’ self-reported expected grade was positively correlated with all 10 SET items for both groups. In this study, timing of completion had no statistical effect on SET item score. However, when students completed SETs after final exams, response rates decreased.
“A Stratagem for Self-Oblivion”: Rosselli, Real Talk, and the Abolition of the “I”
Authors: McGlazer Ramsey
Published: December 2023

This essay analyzes the poetry of Amelia Rosselli alongside accounts of urban displacement, deinstitutionalization, and political militancy. I show that Rosselli comes to see poetry as allowing for a suspension of the self that is also a way of taking distance from the demands addressed to it, including the demands that it defend itself, assert itself, pursue its interests, and reproduce the same. Poetry becomes a means of resisting ideology and its “lure of identity,” a practice on its way to what Rosselli, translating and altering a phrase from Charles Olson, calls “the abolition of the I.” Before turning to this process as it plays out in Rosselli’s poetry, I ask what gets in the way of the self’s suspension, what thwarts self-abolition, making it appear unthinkable and impossible. I take bourgeois ideology to be one answer to this question, and I argue that ideology sustains the “reparative” and “postcritical” tendencies traceable to the work of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick. Analyzing a key scene in Sedgwick’s “Paranoid Reading and Reparative Reading” that stages a refusal to read, I study the implications of this refusal and consider counterfactual alternatives.

In the article, in order to solve environmental problems associated with heating buildings and structures, the methods of converting electrical energy into thermal energy and the processes occurring at the same time are considered. Well-known thermal installations, such as vortex, cavitation, cavitation-vortex, rotary, do not fully meet the requirements of consumers. In these conditions, the search for effective solutions is an urgent task. Such solutions include a method of obtaining thermal energy by creating pressure at the throttle openings by inertia forces of a rotating mass of liquid. To determine the flow of liquid through the throttle holes, an experimental stand was made. With the help of the stand, we determined the flow rate of liquid through throttle holes with a diameter of 1.5, 2, 3 mm. During the experiment, it was found that the larger the diameter of the throttle opening, the higher the fluid flow. However, it is impossible to excessively increase the diameter of the throttle opening, as this will complicate the creation of pressure at the throttle openings. It is found that with an increase in the angular velocity of the rotor, the fluid pressure at the throttle openings increases, and the proportion of fluid flow from the preliminary static pressure in the total flow decreases. It is certain that the preliminary static pressure in the supply line has a significant effect on the flow rate only at low rotor speeds (ω up to = 76 rad / s), and with increasing angular velocity, its influence decreases and the coefficient k tends to 1.

Published: December 2023

The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of previous studies on minimally invasive scoliosis surgery (MISS) in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Some data on MISS in AIS compared with conventional open scoliosis surgery (COSS) are conflicting. A systematic literature search was conducted in Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library, including studies reporting outcomes for MISS in AIS. The meta-analysis compared the operative, radiological, and clinical outcomes and complications between MISS and COSS in patients with AIS. Of the 208 records identified, 15 nonrandomized studies with 1,369 patients (reviews and case reports are excluded) were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The mean scale was 6.1, and eight of the 15 included studies showed satisfactory quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. For operative outcomes, MISS had significant benefits in terms of estimated blood loss (standard mean difference [SMD], -1.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], -2.94 to -0.91) and hospitalization days (SMD, -2.99; 95% CI, -4.45 to -1.53) compared with COSS. However, COSS showed significantly favorable outcomes for operative times (SMD, 1.71; 95% CI, 0.92–2.51). No significant differences were observed in radiological outcomes, including Cobb’s angle of the main curve and thoracic kyphosis. For clinical outcomes, MISS showed significant benefits on the visual analog scale score (SMD, -0.91; 95% CI, -1.36 to -0.47). The overall complication rates of MISS were similar to those of COSS (SMD, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.61–1.52). MISS using the posterior approach provides equivalent radiological and clinical outcomes and complication rates compared with COSS. Considering the lower estimated blood loss, shorter hospitalization days, and longer operative times in MISS, COSS is still the mainstay of surgical treatment in AIS; however, MISS using the posterior approach is also one of the surgical options of choice in the case of moderate AIS.

India and Pakistan are two high risks running in this competitive strategy. Since India and Pakistan appeared as independent States on the World map, South Asian security has been derailing in an unstable and vast shape. Kargil pushes the region towards unease and insecurity. Although India called it a proxy War, which was controlled by Pakistan forces. In Kargil both states showed their presence of their nuclear weapons and exchange threats. Both states were in Competition for winning through their perception of nuclear weapons.There were basically two reasons of Pakistan to fight this particular war (i) Secure Territory (ii) Internationalize the Kashmir issue. Due to the effort of Pakistan Kashmir issue was internationalised in front of world but unfortunately Pakistan was labelled as sponsor of terrorism as well as threats about misuse of its nuclear weapons increased in South Asian region. Deterrence Theory will be used in article. Which involves using military threats/weapons as a mean to deter international crisis. In this research both analytical and descriptive methods will be used. Descriptive analytics is the process of using current and historical data to identify trends and relationships so this is the best suited method to conduct this research.
КЕРУВАННЯ СТРУКТУРОУТВОРЕННЯМ БЕТОНУ ЗАСТОСУВАННЯМ СУМІШІ ПОВЕРХНЕВО-АКТИВНИХ РЕЧОВИН

Published: December 2023

Теоретично обґрунтовано механізм структуроутворення бетону застосуванням ефекту гідрофобної гідратації на прикладі використання суміші колоїдної та грубодисперсної поверхнево-активних речовин. Для досягнення мети виконували такі завдання: теоретичні дослідження механізму впливу колоїдних поверхнево-активних речовин та грубодисперсних поверхнево-активних речовин на структуру бетону; для підтвердження результатів теоретичних досліджень зміна властивості отриманих бетонів вимірюванням їх міцності. Представлено результати теоретичних досліджень впливу на структуру бетону колоїдних та грубодисперсних поверхнево-активних речовин. Показано, що введення у бетон означених колоїдних поверхнево-активних речовин у надмалій концентрації призводить до виникнення ефекту гідрофобної гідратації, тобто зміни взаємодії між молекулами води. Використано як колоїдну гідрофобну поверхнево-активну речовину олеат натрію, а як грубодисперсну – поверхнево-активну речовину – вуглеводні. Зауважено, що гідрофобна гідратація характерна тим, що частина розчиненої речовини має на трансляційний рух молекул води гальмівну дію, зумовлену тим, що частина простору розчину, яка відповідає власному об’єму часток розчиненої речовини, виявляється недоступною для молекул води. Гідрофільна й гідрофобна гідратації мають різний механізм. Великі гідрофільні іони викликають упорядкування структури води. Маючи більше впорядковану структуру, ніж чиста вода, розчини зазначених солей вимагають меншої роботи для розчинення, внаслідок чого розчинність останніх зростає. Проведені експерименти дають підстави для однозначного висновку, про те, що внаслідок введення у воду молекул гідрофільних поверхнево-активних речовин у вигляді димерів та наночастинок іншої поверхнево-активної речовини відбувається структурування води, тобто утворення безперервної фрактальної сітки з молекул води. Завдяки цьому утворюються комплексні сполуки, які містять значну кількість хімічно зв’язаної води, що забезпечує підвищення міцності та зменшення деформативності бетону.
ВИШУКУВАННЯ ДЛЯ ПІДВИЩЕННЯ РОДЮЧОСТІ ҐРУНТІВ НОВОСТВОРЕНИХ СІЛЬСЬКОГОСПОДАРСЬКИХ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ

Виконано аналітичний огляд публікацій з питань вишукування для підвищення родючості ґрунтів новостворених сільськогосподарських підприємств.

Зазначено, що особливості географічного положення, природних умов (рельєф, водні і лісові ресурси, склад сільськогосподарських угідь) та особливості історичного розвитку зумовили значні територіальні відмінності в сільському розселенні, розмірах і типах сільських поселень.

На сучасному етапі розвитку суспільства назріла потреба в дослідженні питань взаємодії людини і природи, виявленні наслідків цієї взаємодії та розробленні природоохоронних заходів.

Подано короткий аналіз методик організації територій і обґрунтовано, що використання земель має відбуватися з урахуванням екологічних вимог – щодо ґрунтів, рельєфу, забрудненості території, з обмеженнями, зумовленими ландшафтними особливостями, із заходами з освоєння і поліпшення сільськогосподарських угідь.

Вишукування виконують у складі комплексних інженерних вишукувань з метою: розроблення матеріалів оцінки впливів об’єктів і господарської діяльності на навколишнє природне середовище (ОВНПС) у складі проєктної документації для нового будівництва, реконструкції, технічного переоснащення або ліквідації об’єктів відповідно до ДБН А.2.2-1; прогнозування можливих змін при збереженні існуючих тенденцій і при планових впливах; виявлення геопатогенних зон; розроблення рекомендацій з регулювання впливів, інженерної підготовки освоюваної (освоєної) території та особливостей конструкцій будинків і споруд, а також рекомендацій зі створення сприятливих екологічних умов; розроблення заходів щодо охорони навколишнього природного середовища.

Склад вишукувальних робіт встановлюють залежно від: цільового призначення робіт; ступеня вивченості території (у тому числі й давності інформації); наявності характеру та ступеня змін у стані природних компонентів, ступеня деградації компонентів навколишнього природного середовища.

Методи вишукувальних робіт за кожним компонентом регулюються відповідними нормативними документами.

У складних екологічних умовах до виконання робіт потрібно залучати спеціалізовані організації або використовувати інформацію з їхніх фондів, а аналіз інформації має здійснювати вишукувальна організація відповідно до цільового призначення робіт.

Основними засобами відновлення й підтримання високої родючості ґрунту та надання йому структури є сівба багаторічних трав, застосування органічних і мінеральних добрив, впровадження сівозмін і правильна система обробітку ґрунту.

Wolność teonomiczna i libertariańska. Porównanie metakrytyczne
Authors: Menke Karl-Heinz
Published: December 2023

W tym artykule Karl-Heinz Menke podejmuje dyskusję z dwoma myślicielami katolickimi, a mianowicie z Magnusem Strietem, teologiem fundamentalnym z Fryburga i Saskią Wendel, profesorem-teologiem z Tybingi. Striet i Wendel przenoszą protestanckie formuły sola do najnowsza teologia katolicka, opierając się na libertariańskiej koncepcji wolności, która kontynuowana jest od Dunsa Szkota, przez W. Ockhama do I. Kanta. Libertariański zwrot, którego żądali od Kościoła Striet i Wendel, polegałby na traktowaniu treści objawienia – które dla nich jest jedynie interpretacją – nie jako niezależnych od podmiotu spostrzeżeń rozumu teoretycznego, ale jako twierdzeń rozumu praktycznego. Według nich objawienie i rozum, łaska i wolność są – jak twierdzi K.-H. notatki. Menke – przede wszystkim bardzo osobiste doświadczenie. Dlatego nauczanie Magisterium Kościoła jest nauczaniem dyskryminującym, które wpisuje się w całą historię ucisku człowieka. Te i inne tezy ostatecznie odrzuca prof. Menke, reprezentujący klasyczne stanowisko teologii katolickiej.
Synodalność w myśli Josepha Ratzingera
Authors: Samulnik Tomasz
Published: December 2023

Streszczenie

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie linii myślenia Josepha kardynała Ratzingera na temat idei synodalności. W kolejnych krokach swojej refleksji Bawarski teolog stawia na pozór rudymentalne, choć zasadnicze pytania: Czym jest synod? Jaka jest funkcja instytucji synodu w Kościele? Ratzinger nie stroni również od pytań dotyczących aktualnej problematyki związanej z drogą synodalną. Przybierają one ton prowokacyjny: Czy w Kościele katolickim nie powinien trwać nieprzerwany synod, który łączyłby  zasadę synodalności z zasadą papieskiego prymatu? Czy synod może funkcjonować wyłącznie jako własny, niezależny organ części bądź całości kolegium biskupów danego regionu? Kto ostatecznie kieruje Kościołem? Własne próby odpowiedzi na postawione pytania autor osadza przede wszystkim w Tradycji Kościoła, a także w kontekście bliskiej Bawarczykowi eklezjologii communio. Istotnym atutem jest również zawarty w refleksji wymiar pragmatyczny podejścia do zagadnienia synodalności.
Κοινωνία and μετουσία in Gregory of Nyssa's Oratio catechetica magna
Authors: Kapłon Szymon
Published: December 2023

This article presents a comparative analysis of the use of the terms κοινωνία and μετουσία in Trinitarian, Christological and soteriological as well as sacramental contexts in Gregory of Nyssa's Oratio catechetica magna. As a result, we can discover that Gregory consciously and precisely distinguishes between the concepts under discussion and treats the term κοινωνία as a bridge connecting the disputed topics of dogmatic theology. Moreover, the analysis shows that the Bishop of Nyssa's use of the term κοινωνία betrays his desire to transcend the dialectical understanding of the relationship between unity and difference. Instead of this conception originating in Platonism, Gregory seeks a synthetic account that preserves the autonomy and independence and, simultaneously, the possibility of true unity between God and man. The conclusion of the analysis is the need for further research into the use of the concept of κοινωνία in the works of the youngest of the Cappadocian Fathers.
EXPLORING TUTORS’ STRATEGIES IN TEACHING SPEAKING AT PPB IAIN SYEKH NURJATI CIREBON
Authors: Umar Umar
Published: December 2023

This study, which includes an English tutor and 30 students in the third semester of the class PPB IAIN Syekh Nurjati Cirebon, aims to portray tutors’ tactics in teaching speaking to PPB IAIN Syekh Nurjati Cirebon and recognize the effects of strategies used by the English tutors. To determine the speaking instruction methodologies, interviews, and classroom observations were undertaken as part of the data collection. The outcome showed that the tutors’ methods included drills, role-plays, speaking lines, and discussions. As a result of the teacher's speaking techniques, pupils get more engaged in their studies, develop more optimistic outlooks, and become more motivated. Almost all of the students prefer the speaking lines as the method of teaching speaking among the three tactics used by the teacher because they believe it can enhance their speaking skills, increase their desire to talk and make the teaching-learning process more enjoyable.

Authors: Гаврилюк Алла , Виставна Анюта
Published: December 2023

Мета статті — вивчити вплив традицій гастрономічної культури Турецької Республіки на розвиток туристичної дестинації та окреслити перспективи їх застосування в Україні. У результаті дослідження розкрито основні аспекти просування туристичної дестинації через використання гастрономічної культури як частини нематеріальної культурної спадщини (НКС) ЮНЕСКО на прикладі Турецької Республіки. Проведено анкетування, у якому визначено: головні гастрономічні «родзинки» України, які пропонується використовувати для промоції території та відповідно до особистих чи уподобань опитаних респондентів; напрями популяризації країни з урахуванням найбільш привабливих гастрономічних елементів; оцінку привабливості України для туристів загалом та основних аспектів подорожі зокрема; значення гастрономії як складника кожної подорожі; основний вектор для діяльності установ, що забезпечують імплементацію Конвенції про охорону НКС. Наукова новизна полягає у виявленні інноваційних інструментів просування туристичної дестинації через використання гастрономічних елементів НКС. Висновки. На прикладі Турецької Республіки виявлено, що формування гастрономічної культури крізь призму пізнання нематеріальної культурної спадщини є актуальним і популярним ресурсом розвитку туристичної дестинації, мотиватором туристичних прибуттів до місць призначення; рушієм стійкості та розвитку громад і територій, особливо сільської місцевості, завдяки залученню туристів в усі пори року та використанню локальних продуктів. За результатами проведеного дослідження визначено основні напрями популяризації державою національної та локальної гастрономічної культури. Проаналізовано ресурсні можливості гастроспадщини НКС ЮНЕСКО, що можуть бути використані для просування туристичної дестинації в межах безпечних територій України навіть в умовах воєнного стану.
Взаємовплив соціальних мереж і масової культури: роль і значення алгоритмів
Authors: Гаврилюк Олег , Гнатюк Анатолій
Published: December 2023

Мета статті — з’ясувати сутність та особливості впливу соціальних мереж на масову культуру. Дослідження ґрунтується на застосуванні загальнонаукових методів системного аналізу, а також теорії соціальних мереж; для з’ясування сутності взаємовпливу соціальних мереж і культурних цінностей використано метод логічної реконструкції. Результати дослідження. Звернено увагу на потребу з’ясування ролі одного з найпопулярніших сервісів інтернету — віртуальних універсальних соціальних мереж у перевизначенні масової культури. Наголошено, що основою дослідження впливу соціальних мереж на масову культуру мають стати дві теорії: вибіркового сприйняття та соціального впливу. На основі цих теорій розробляються спеціальні алгоритми, які не лише передбачають, що люди робитимуть, а й змінюють культурні відносини, формують культурні ландшафти, змушують віддавати перевагу конкретним речам, діям тощо. Акцентовано, що алгоритми соціальних мереж — це, по суті, прогнозні аналітичні коди, які надають інтернет-користувачам контент на основі їхнього біологічного профілю, геолокації та онлайн-звичок. Наукова новизна одержаних результатів полягає у з’ясуванні суті алгоритмів соціальних мереж, специфіки їхнього впливу на масову культуру і навпаки — масової культури на контент соціальних мереж, що дає підстави вести мову про так звану «алгоритмічну соціалізацію». Висновки. Підсумовано, що соціальні мережі є сьогодні інструментом трансформації масової культури — цінності та досвід передаються через публікації, коментарі, лайки та репости, а також інші форми спілкування на сайтах соціальних мереж. Сьогодні ці процеси знаменують початок нової ери, коли масова культура та нові медіа вимірюють щоденну взаємодію людей із представниками інших культур, спонукаючи до з’ясування специфіки вироблення алгоритмами інформації, знань про світ, які згодом використовуються для рекурсивної зміни останнього.
